AI Summary
This bill prohibits certain social media algorithms that target children under the age of 18 on social media platforms with more than 1 million account holders operating in Minnesota. It defines key terms like "social media algorithm," "social media platform," and "user-generated content." The bill holds social media operators liable if they know or have reason to know that a user under 18 received targeted content through the algorithm, subjecting them to potential damages and penalties. However, the bill provides exceptions for algorithms intended to block inappropriate or harmful content for minors, as well as for content created by government entities and educational institutions.
