Tennessee: Protecting Children from Social Media Act signed by Governor
On May 2, 2024, House Bill 1891 on the Protecting Children from Social Media Act was signed by the Governor of Tennessee.
The Act requires 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.
