Concerns social media privacy and data management for children and establishes New Jersey Children's Data Protection Commission.

New Jersey's S 1959 creates the New Jersey Children's Data Protection Commission and requires social media platforms to protect children under 18. It mandates that platforms conduct a risk assessment before launching any new feature likely to be accessed by children, including evaluating potential harm from content or contacts. The bill requires platforms to set high-default privacy settings, provide age-appropriate privacy policies in clear language, and offer tools for children or parents to manage data. This directly affects social media platforms operating in New Jersey that design features likely to be used by children.
