Bans social media for kids under 13, limits it for teens, and blocks it in schools.
This bill would ban social media accounts for children under 13 and stop personalized recommendations for anyone under 17. It would also require elementary and secondary schools to block student access to social media on school networks and devices. These changes aim to address concerns about social media's impact on young people.
Currently, social media platforms set their own age limits and widely use personalized recommendation systems for all ages. Schools receiving federal internet funds must have safety policies but aren't specifically required to block social media. If this bill becomes law, social media platforms would be legally required to prevent users under 13 from having accounts. They would also have to stop personalized recommendations for users under 17. Schools receiving federal internet funds would also have to block student access to social media on their networks and devices.
