Title

Minors, Internet post, removal under certain circumstances

Description

Existing federal law requires an operator of an Internet website or online service directed to a child, or an operator of an Internet website or online service that has actual knowledge that it is collecting personal information from a child, to provide notice of what information is being collected and how that information is being used, and to give the parent of the child the opportunity to refuse to permit the operator's further collection of information from the child.

Existing law does not require an operator to provide a procedure for a minor to remove information posted to a website directed to a child or when the operator has actual knowledge that a child is a registered user of the website.

This bill would require an operator to permit a minor user who is a registered user to remove, or to request and obtain removal of, content or information posted under certain circumstances.

This bill would require the operator to provide notice to a registered minor user that the minor may remove certain posted content or information under certain circumstances.
