Georgia Youth & Social Media law summary
Based on direct statute tracking.
Georgia's Protecting Georgia's Children on Social Media Act of 2024 (SB 351 / Act 463) requires social-media platforms to verify the ages of account holders and obtain a parent's or guardian's express consent before allowing a minor under 16 to hold an account. Public schools must also adopt and enforce social-media access policies on school networks and devices by April 1, 2026.

Why this status
Based on direct statute tracking.
What this means
- The rule has two distinct surfaces: a platform-level age-verification + parental-consent requirement, and a school-level policy mandate covering school-owned devices and networks.
- Both surfaces apply to Georgia residents. The platform side runs through Attorney General enforcement; the school side runs through your district's published policy.
- Specific age thresholds, consent mechanism, and platform scope live in the codified bill text — the card is a summary, not legal advice.
What to do next
- Read SB 351 / Act 463 on the Georgia General Assembly site for the exact age threshold, consent mechanism, and platform scope.
- Check your school district's published social-media-access policy — districts are required to publish one by April 1, 2026, and that policy is what governs school networks and school-issued devices in practice.
