Bill > SB0757

This bill, known as the "Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation for Kids Act," aims to regulate social media platforms' use of addictive feeds for minors in Michigan by establishing strict guidelines for internet-based services and applications. The bill defines an "addictive feed" as content recommended or prioritized based on user information, and applies to online platforms where such feeds are a significant part of their service. Covered operators (platform providers) are prohibited from providing addictive feeds to minors unless they have verified parental consent or actual knowledge that the user is not a minor. The bill also restricts notifications to minors during specific times, such as late night, early morning, and school hours. Importantly, operators must protect user privacy by deleting any age-related information immediately after verification and cannot use this information for other purposes. If a platform violates these rules, the Attorney General can take civil action, including imposing fines up to $5,000 per violation, seeking damages, or obtaining injunctive relief. The bill explicitly states that parental consent does not waive potential future claims about harm to a minor's mental health, and platforms cannot penalize users who exercise their rights under this legislation.
