Requires online platforms to protect kids from harm and give parents more control.
This bill would make online platforms take steps to keep kids safer online and give parents more tools to manage their children's accounts. It would require platforms to prevent harms like compulsive usage and sexual exploitation, and offer ways to limit screen time and control personalized recommendations. These changes would be enforced by federal and state agencies.
Today, there is no comprehensive federal law specifically telling online platforms how to protect minors from harm. There are also no uniform safeguards and parental tools required. If this bill becomes law, platforms would need to exercise reasonable care to prevent harms to users under 17. They would also offer specific privacy and safety tools for minors and parents. Platforms would also be more transparent about their algorithms and advertising. These changes would generally take effect 18 months after the bill is signed into law, with some algorithm transparency rules taking effect after 1 year.
