CO HB1287

Social media companies must implement age assurance systems with at least 95% accuracy to identify Colorado users under 18, and provide those minors with protective tools, parental controls, and privacy safeguards

Minor users must receive tools to disable addictive features (auto-play, infinite scroll, personalized recommendations), set daily time limits, schedule mandatory breaks, and report problems to the platform

Parents gain supervisory tools including ability to view and control account settings for children under 13, set time limits, restrict purchases, view connected accounts, receive notifications of setting changes, and delete their child's personal data

Platforms must activate maximum privacy protections by default for minors, including restricting account visibility to connected users only, disabling search engine indexing, preventing recommendations of minor accounts to unconnected adults, and limiting direct messaging to connections

Minors under 16 cannot change default privacy or security settings without verifiable parental consent; violations constitute deceptive trade practices enforceable by the attorney general
