AI Summary
This bill requires the governing body of every public school to establish a policy that prevents school staff from mandating that students use a social media platform for any school-related activity, which is defined as any task or requirement assigned to a student as part of a classroom lesson or extracurricular activity, such as school clubs or sports. A social media platform is broadly defined as a public-facing website or application that collects personal data, generates revenue primarily from advertising or selling data, and allows users to share content like messages, videos, and audio files for social interaction, with several specific exceptions including platforms primarily for online shopping, teleconferencing, encyclopedias, cloud storage, video games, news and entertainment content, business information, educational services and school-sanctioned learning systems, email, wireless messaging services, broadband internet access, and virtual private networks.
