North Carolina H301 aims to protect minors under 16 from harmful social media content by regulating social media platforms.
North Carolina H301, the Social Media Protection for Minors Act, mandates that social media platforms take specific actions to safeguard minors under 16. The bill requires platforms to terminate accounts of minors under 14 within 30 days and prevent minors aged 14-15 from creating accounts without parental consent. It also mandates the permanent deletion of personal data from terminated accounts, unless legally required otherwise. The act defines "social media platform" and "harmful to minors," and it allows for civil penalties and actions for violations.
