Tennessee: Protecting Children from Social Media Act signed by House and Senate Speakers
On April 23, 2024, House Bill 1891 on the Protecting Children from Social Media Act was signed by the House and Senate Speaker. The Act shall take effect upon its enactment and would require social media companies to:
- verify the age of an individual who either attempts to become an account holder or is an account holder within 14 days of the account holder's attempt to access an existing account;
- verify the express parental consent of a minor to become or continue as an account holder; and
- provide a minor account holder's parent with the means to supervise the minor's account, including options for the parent to view privacy settings on the account, set daily time restrictions, and implement breaks during which the minor cannot access the account.
