   "This bill would, on and after January 1, 2015, prohibit an operator of
    an Internet Web site, online service, online application, or mobile
    application, as specified, from marketing or advertising specified
    types of products or services to a minor. The bill would prohibit an
    operator from knowingly using, disclosing, compiling, or allowing a
    3rd party to use, disclose, or compile, the personal information of a
    minor for the purpose of marketing or advertising specified types of
    products or services. The bill would also make this prohibition
    applicable to an advertising service that is notified by an operator
    of an Internet Web site, online service, online application, or mobile
    application that the site, service, or application is directed to a
    minor.  The bill would, on and after January 1, 2015, require the
    operator of an Internet Web site, online service, online application,
    or mobile application to permit a minor, who is a registered user of
    the operator's Internet Web site, online service, online application,
    or mobile application, to remove, or to request and obtain removal of,
    content or information posted on the operator's Internet Web site,
    service, or application by the minor, unless the content or
    information was posted by a 3rd party, any other provision of state or
    federal law requires the operator or 3rd party to maintain the content
    or information, or the operator anonymizes the content or information.
    The bill would require the operator to provide notice to a minor that
    the minor may remove the content or information, as specified."
