Massachusetts H5349 aims to protect minors' health by regulating social media use and personal electronic devices in schools.

Massachusetts H5349 mandates that social media platforms prohibit users aged 14 or 15 from accessing their services without parental consent. Platforms must terminate accounts of non-compliant minors and delete their data unless legally required to keep it. Parents of users under 14 can request access to their children's data within five business days. The bill also requires schools to develop policies prohibiting student use of personal electronic devices during school hours, with exceptions for educational needs or emergencies. Schools must notify parents annually about these policies.
