What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill stops social media platforms from letting kids under 13 create or keep accounts, and it requires platforms to delete any existing accounts and personal data belonging to those children. It also prevents platforms from using automated systems to recommend content to users under 17 based on their personal data. Schools that receive discounted internet service through a federal program called E-Rate must block access to social media on their school networks and devices, or they could lose that funding. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules for platforms, and states could also sue platforms that break these rules.
