SB 2740 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Mississippi Keeping Kids Safe Online Act; enact.

SB 2740, the Mississippi Keeping Kids Safe Online Act, requires online platforms (like social media and gaming services) to obtain explicit written consent from a minor's parent or guardian before creating accounts or entering any agreement with a user under 18. Without parental consent, any agreement signed by a minor is automatically invalid from the start. The law allows Mississippi's Attorney General to sue violating platforms for civil penalties and recover legal costs, with enforcement focused on preventing platforms from bypassing parental oversight for underage users.
