Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB22 aims to protect minors on social media by imposing restrictions on data mining and targeted advertising, requiring parental consent.

Pennsylvania SB22 seeks to safeguard minors on social media by prohibiting social media companies from mining data related to minors and engaging in targeted advertising based on minors' age, gender, or interests. The bill mandates that minors must have express parental consent to open an account on a social media platform. It also provides parents with account supervision tools and requires social media platforms to delete personal information of minors upon request. Violations of these provisions result in civil penalties, with escalating fines for repeat offenses.
