On 11 January 2025, the Protecting Georgia’s Children on Social Media Act of 2024 (SB 351) was introduced to the Senate of Georgia. The Bill would impose obligations on social media platforms and commercial entities providing harmful online material to minors. Schools would need to expand curricula on digital citizenship, adopt social media policies, and address cyberbullying. Platforms would be required to verify users’ ages, treat those under 16 as minors, obtain parental consent for their accounts, ban targeted advertising and unnecessary data collection from minors, and provide parental monitoring tools.
