Passed by the Georgia General Assembly in 2024, the statute requires platforms to make “commercially reasonable efforts” to verify user ages and obtain parental permission before allowing anyone aged 15 or younger to hold an account. Non-compliant companies face state fines of up to $2,500 per violation. The law also bans targeted advertising to minors based on personal data and requires local school boards to restrict social media on school devices and Wi-Fi networks.

#BadIntrernetBills are moving forward again in Congress and multiple states, so it’s time to take action. Groups like Fight for the Future, National Youth Rights Association, EFF, Woodhull Foundation, CDT, and the Internet Society have been sounding the alarm, but Congress is now looking at packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We’re organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.

This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!

And if you use microblogging software like Mastodon, please also check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag.
