Secure Online Child Interaction and Age Limitation Act

LA SOCIAL Act
enjoined

Requires large social media platforms to make commercially reasonable efforts to verify Louisiana users' ages and to obtain a parent's express consent before a Louisiana minor under 16 may hold an account. For minor accounts it bars unconnected adults from direct messaging, bars ads based on personal information other than age and location, limits data collection, and requires parental supervision tools. On December 15, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana held R.S. 51:1751-1754 unconstitutional as applied to ten NetChoice members and permanently enjoined enforcement of R.S. 51:1751-1756 against them; the state's appeal is pending in the Fifth Circuit.
