The legislation, known as HB61, covers a broad range of companies and content, including video games, social networks, and other services that allow users to create accounts and exchange text, photos or videos online. Under the bill, online platforms could use third-party services to obtain a parent’s consent. The bill’s passage comes after states including Utah and Arkansas signed similar bills into law this year requiring parental consent for minors who wish to access social media.
US lawmakers have spent years calling for new safeguards to address concerns about social platforms leading younger users down harmful rabbit holes, enabling new forms of bullying and harassment and adding to what’s been described as a teen mental health crisis. But some users, digital rights advocates and child safety experts have said the wave of new state legislation risks undermining privacy for teens and adults, puts too much burden on parents and raises questions about enforcement.
