Mississippi Enacts Children's Online Safety Law | Practical Law
Mississippi has enacted the Walker Montgomery Protecting Children Online Act, which protects Mississippi minors under age 18 by placing several new restrictions on digital service providers that offer online websites, programs, applications, or software to Mississippi minors. The Act limits digital service providers' collection and use of minors' personal information, requires verification and parental consent before a minor can create an account, and provides for a limited private right of action.
