App- and Device-Based Age Verification Legislation Coming in SD & TX AG’s Lawsuit Against TikTok

October 08, 2024 (1 min read)

SD to Consider App- and Device-Based Age Verification Legislation in 2025

The South Dakota Legislature’s Study Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Regulation of Internet Access by Minors voted unanimously to ask the Legislative Research Council to draft legislation for next session requiring app stores and makers of mobile phones and tablets to verify the age of users. No state has passed such an app- or device-based age verification law, but U.S. Rep. John James (R-MI) has introduced an app-based verification bill in Congress, and Meta has shown support for the idea. (SOUTH DAKOTA SEARCHLIGHT)

TX AG Sues TikTok for Violating State’s New Social Media Law

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) sued TikTok for allegedly sharing and selling the personal data of minors, in violation of a law passed by the state last year. That law, the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment Act, requires social media companies to obtain permission from a parent or guardian before sharing or selling a minor’s personal information.
