Concerns social media privacy and data management for children and establishes New Jersey Children's Data Protection Commission.
This New Jersey bill requires social media platforms to conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments before offering any service, product, or feature likely to be accessed by children under 18. It prohibits default profiling of children, restricts collection of unnecessary personal information, and mandates high default privacy settings for child users. The bill establishes the New Jersey Children's Data Protection Commission, consisting of nine members appointed by the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker, to make recommendations on children's data privacy practices. Social media platforms violating the bill face civil penalties of up to $7,500 per affected child, enforced by the Attorney General.
