Age verification required for websites with material harmful to minors, enforcement by the attorney general provided, and private right of action created.

The bill requires websites that contain material considered harmful to minors to verify the age of their users. It allows the Minnesota Attorney General to enforce this requirement and gives individuals the right to take legal action if they believe the law is being violated. This aims to protect children from inappropriate content online.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is an important step towards safeguarding children from harmful online content. They believe that age verification will create a safer internet environment for minors and hold websites accountable for the material they host.

Critics of the bill contend that age verification could infringe on privacy rights and lead to potential misuse of personal information. They also argue that the legislation may not effectively protect minors and could create barriers to accessing legitimate online content.
