Establishes the "Missouri Social Media Safety for Minors Act"

HB 2392, the "Missouri Social Media Safety for Minors Act," prohibits social media platforms from allowing users under 14 to create or maintain accounts and requires verified parental consent for minors aged 14-16. It mandates platforms to implement secure age-verification processes (without requiring government ID), protect user privacy, and offer parents tools to monitor activity, delete accounts, or limit messaging with unverified adults. The bill bans addictive design features (like infinite scroll), direct messaging from unverified adults to minors, and targeted advertising based on minors' personal data. Violations are deemed unlawful practices, allowing the attorney general or affected parents to seek civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation.
