What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill requires large social media companies to let special safety software monitor and manage how children under 17 use their platforms. Children or their parents can choose to allow this safety software to control the child's interactions, content, and account settings, and to regularly access the child's user data. The software companies can share a child's data with parents if the child is at risk of harm like suicide, eating disorders, sexual abuse, harassment, or cheating in school. To provide this service, software companies must register with the Federal Trade Commission, pass security reviews, be based in the United States, and only use children's data to protect them from harm.
