Relating to: social media accounts for minors and providing a penalty.

Summary

The bill creates a new statute (100.72) that obligates major social‑media companies—those with at least $1 billion in annual revenue—to use reasonable methods to estimate a user’s age after a certain amount of usage time. If the platform cannot be at least 80 % sure the user is 18 or older, the user is treated as a minor and the platform must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting or using personal information. The measure aims to protect Wisconsin minors from undisclosed data practices on popular platforms.
