No enacted social-media/age-assurance/AADC/app-store/addictive-feed law, and no comprehensive consumer-privacy law in force. The earlier vehicle, HB 644 (2023-2024), died. The current vehicle, HB 301 ('Social Media Protections for Minors Under 16'; bars under-14 accounts, parental consent for 14-15), passed the North Carolina House 106-6 in May 2025 and was advancing through Senate committees in 2026 but was not enacted as of 2026-07-04 (effective 2026-10-01 only if passed). North Carolina also has an adult-content age-verification statute (excluded by scope) and a law adding social-media health instruction to school curricula (a schools measure, not a platform duty). Absence of an in-scope enacted platform-duty law corroborated by multiple trackers (Wikipedia, MultiState, Mayer Brown, Keller & Heckman).
