Relating to: social media accounts for minors and providing a penalty.
SB 936 requires major social media platforms (with $1 billion+ annual revenue) to estimate the age of users who spend significant time on their service. After 25 hours of use within six months, platforms must determine if a user is under 18 with 80% confidence; if unsure, they must treat the user as a minor. For minors, platforms must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information and disable features like infinite scrolling and profile-based feeds. The bill directly affects minors under 18 using covered platforms in the state, imposing specific data handling and feature restrictions.
