AI Summary
This bill requires social media companies to implement a reasonable age verification process, which involves methods like uploading a state-issued ID, to determine if a user is a minor (under 18). If a user is identified as a minor, their account will have default privacy settings that maximize privacy, such as restricting content visibility and data collection, and disabling features that encourage prolonged engagement like autoplay and continuous scrolling. Parents or legal guardians will have access to supervisory tools to manage their child's usage, including setting time limits and breaks, and will need to provide verifiable written consent for any changes to a minor's privacy settings or for the use of their personal information beyond core platform functions. The bill also establishes a presumption of confidentiality for minors' personal information, which can only be overcome with parental consent, and allows for an appeal process if a user's age designation is incorrect. The Attorney General is authorized to enforce these provisions and can impose civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation. This legislation is declared an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
