Bans social media accounts for kids under 16 on certain platforms.
This bill would stop certain social media companies from letting anyone they know is under 16 create or keep an account. It would also require these companies to shut down existing accounts for known minors and delete their personal information.
Today, there is no federal law broadly stopping online platforms from letting kids under 16 have accounts. This bill would change that by banning certain platforms from allowing anyone they know is under 16 to create or keep an account. It would also require platforms to identify and notify known minors about account termination within 180 days of the bill becoming law, then close those accounts within 30 days of notification and delete their personal data. Minors would get a 90-day window to request their data.
