Bill overview
This bill, the "Social Media Children Protection Act," aims to protect minors in Michigan by requiring social media companies to verify the age of users and obtain parental consent before a minor can create an account. It also mandates that companies provide parents with tools to supervise their child’s account and prohibits certain actions related to minors’ social media accounts. Violations can result in civil fines and contractual provisions limiting these protections are deemed unenforceable.
