Kentucky HB232, known as the Youth Online Safety Act, mandates social media platforms to verify the age of users upon account creation and obtain verifiable parental consent for addictive feeds and financial transactions.

Social media platforms must prevent minors from accessing harmful content promoting suicide, substance abuse, or bullying.
