Concerns social media privacy and data management for children and establishes New Jersey Children's Data Protection Commission.
This New Jersey bill (A 1358) requires social media platforms to conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments before launching features likely to be accessed by children under 18. It mandates platforms to set high-default privacy settings, document risks to children, and provide clear, age-appropriate privacy information. The law also establishes a New Jersey Children’s Data Protection Commission to oversee compliance. Social media companies operating in New Jersey must implement these measures for any child-accessible features, including tools for children or parents to report concerns.
