Texas: Bill relating to the protection of minors on digital services sent to Governor for action
On May 30, 2023, House Bill 18 Relating to the protection of minors from harmful, deceptive, or unfair trade practices in connection with the use of certain digital services was sent to the Governor of Texas for action. This follows its passage by the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives on May 29, 2023. In particular, the bill would create several duties and obligations for digital service providers to prevent harm to children by, among other things, implementing adequate technical and organizational measures, prohibiting the digital service to collect minors' data unless it complies with the bill, and providing parents or legal guardians with some parental tools to allow them to supervise the minor's use of the digital service.
