AI Summary
This bill prohibits certain social media algorithms from targeting user-generated content at account holders under the age of 18 in Minnesota, with some exceptions. The bill defines key terms such as "social media algorithm," "social media platform," and "user-generated content." It also establishes liability for social media platform operators if they knowingly allow users under 18 to access content through the prohibited algorithms, and requires platforms to verify the identity of a legal guardian before allowing a minor to open a new user account.
