Maine LD844 would regulate social media use by minors under 16 years of age.

Maine LD844 would require social media companies to prohibit individuals under 16 years of age from becoming or remaining an account holder. It mandates age verification for account holders and requires parental consent for minors aged 13 to 15. The Attorney General would enforce these provisions, with civil penalties for violations. The Office of the Attorney General would adopt rules to implement these requirements, including procedures for age verification and parental consent.
