South Carolina Social Media Regulation Act establishes rules for social media companies regarding minors' accounts, parental consent, and content.

The South Carolina Social Media Regulation Act mandates that social media companies cannot permit minors to create accounts without parental consent. It outlines methods for obtaining consent, such as signed forms or toll-free phone numbers. The act requires social media companies to verify the age of account holders and apply age restrictions to all users. It also mandates that companies filter content that advocates for self-harm or illegal activities and prohibits advertising based on minors' personal information.
