SCOPE Act
House Bill 18, also known as the SCOPE (Securing Children Online Through Parental Empowerment) Act, tightens restrictions for online users under the age of 18. Social media sites will require users to register their age, and minors will be prohibited from making purchases on those sites. Additionally, sites must block and filter harmful material pertaining to suicide, self-harm, bullying, trafficking, and other exploitation, from minors.
Texas will enforce the SCOPE Act through penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.
