HB3185

Missouri HB3185 establishes the Social Media User Rights and Deletion Act, ensuring users can delete their accounts without interference.

Missouri HB3185, the Social Media User Rights and Deletion Act, mandates that social media platforms allow users to delete their accounts without obstruction. The act defines "dark patterns" as user interface designs that impair user autonomy. It requires platforms to provide a clear "Delete Account" button and prohibits the use of misleading design practices to delay or interfere with account deletion. Violations are considered unlawful merchandising practices, subject to penalties and enforcement. The attorney general is granted authority to oversee compliance and rulemaking.
