SB932 Summary

  • Creates a private right of action for minors (or their parents/guardians) in Oklahoma to sue social media platforms for adverse mental health outcomes caused by excessive use of algorithmically curated services.

  • Requires plaintiffs to prove the minor was diagnosed by a licensed mental health provider with an adverse mental health outcome caused by excessive use of an algorithmically curated platform; provides rebuttable presumptions favoring plaintiffs unless the platform meets compliance standards.

  • Social media platforms can rebut presumptions by demonstrating they: limit minor users to 3 hours per 24-hour period, restrict access between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., require parental consent, and disable engagement-driven design elements for minor accounts.

  • Prevailing plaintiffs are entitled to reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and damages of at least $10,000 per adverse mental health outcome incident or actual damages, whichever is greater.

  • Voids any waivers or limitations of protections under the law and prohibits platforms from being held liable for user-generated content or declining to modify posts based on content alone; becomes effective November 1, 2025.
