Arizona's SB 1747 requires social media platforms to obtain parental consent for users under 14 to create accounts and mandates account termination for minors under 14 without consent, with a 90-day dispute period. For 14- to 15-year-olds, platforms must secure parental consent to maintain accounts or face termination, allowing parents 10 days to request account deletion. The law applies to platforms meeting specific criteria, including those with algorithms, infinite scrolling, or significant minor user engagement. It prohibits platforms from targeting minors with content or ads without verified parental consent, aiming to limit exposure to potentially harmful online content.
HB 4057 requires social media platforms operating in Arizona to implement specific privacy protections for minors under 18 who use their services. Platforms must establish high-privacy settings, allow minors to opt out of unnecessary personal data collection, and prohibit targeted advertising based on minors' personal information (only permitting age/location targeting). The law defines "minor" as under 18 residing in Arizona and excludes certain services like email, educational tools, or news platforms from its scope. The Arizona Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority, and the bill does not allow private lawsuits for violations.
HB 4082 proposes that social media platforms in Arizona must restrict users under 16 from accessing content and engaging in social interactions. The bill requires platforms to implement age-appropriate design features, default safety settings, and annual risk assessments to address potential harms to minors. Platforms must also publish safety policies detailing risk categories and mitigation strategies, while maintaining compliance records for three years. This legislation directly affects social media companies operating in Arizona, mandating specific safety measures without restricting business transactions or advertising.
HB 2587 requires Arizona internet service providers (ISPs) to offer subscribers a free, voluntary option to block access to adult content websites. The blocking feature must be user-initiated (not default), easily accessible through account portals, and use accurate filtering methods with error correction. It prohibits ISPs from collecting personal data about subscribers' blocking choices and exempts news, educational content, and constitutionally protected material. Non-compliant ISPs face civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation, with enforcement handled by the Arizona Attorney General.
