SB1871

Oklahoma SB1871 mandates social media platforms to verify user ages and obtain parental consent for minors.

Oklahoma SB1871 requires social media platforms to request and verify the age of individuals creating new accounts. Platforms must classify users as minors or adults and offer parental supervisory tools. These tools allow parents to set time limits, schedule breaks, and view usage data. The bill also mandates default privacy settings for minors, restricts data collection, and prohibits certain features for minors. Violations incur civil penalties up to $2,500. The act declares an emergency, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval.
