Creates penalty for child endangerment via use of social media.

This bill (S 1514) creates criminal penalties for individuals who knowingly endanger children via social media or other electronic communication. It amends New Jersey law to specifically prohibit using electronic means (including social media platforms) to engage in conduct likely to harm a child’s physical, mental, or moral welfare, or to direct children into dangerous activities. Those with legal care responsibilities for the child face second-degree charges, while others face third-degree charges. The law explicitly excludes internet service providers protected under federal law (Section 230) from these penalties. It directly affects anyone using digital platforms to endanger children under 18, with penalties applying to distribution, possession, or storage of child sexual abuse material shared online.
