HB2657

Kansas HB2657 prohibits social media platforms from allowing children under 16 to create or access accounts without verified parental consent.

Kansas HB2657 mandates that social media platforms cannot allow children under 16 to create, maintain, or access accounts unless the platform has obtained verified parental consent. The bill defines "verified parental consent" as authorization by a parent or legal guardian verified through commercially reasonable means. Platforms must implement age-verification measures designed to reliably determine age, minimize personal data collection, and not require government-issued identification beyond the time necessary to verify age.
