New Jersey S4016 regulates social media privacy and data management for children, establishing the New Jersey Children's Data Protection Commission.

New Jersey S4016 mandates that social media platforms complete a Data Protection Impact Assessment before offering new online services, products, or features likely to be accessed by children. The assessment must address potential harm to children, including exposure to harmful content, risks from algorithms, and the use of personal information. The bill prohibits platforms from using children's personal information in ways detrimental to their health or well-being, profiling children by default, and collecting unnecessary personal information.
