More online privacy protections for kids

Beginning January 1, 2027, covered platforms that contract with minors, including through account creation, must make those accounts private. Only connected users can view or respond to the minor’s posts. Platforms must either block adult connections without the legal representative’s express consent or let that representative view connections, including direct-message contacts. Representatives can choose alerts about exposure to material harmful to minors or connections with other users. Connection alerts are not required when the representative is connected to the minor’s account through parental supervision tools. The law also replaces its prior definition of a minor with another Louisiana law’s definition. The supplied text does not give that definition’s full criteria, so it does not establish exactly which young users qualify.
