Change provisions relating to the collection and use of personal data and provide additional duties and prohibitions for a covered online service under the Age-Appropriate Online Design Code Act

Nebraska's LB 1119 amends the Age-Appropriate Online Design Code Act to protect children and teens online. It directly affects major online platforms (like social media and games) that meet specific thresholds - such as having $25 million+ annual revenue or processing data for 50,000+ users. The bill prohibits "dark patterns" that exploit young users, including infinite scroll, auto-playing media, gamified rewards for excessive use, and deceptive notification tactics. It also clarifies that platforms must treat users under 18 as "covered minors" and prohibits using their data for targeted advertising without parental consent. The law applies to services accessible in Nebraska that process personal data of minors.
