Kids Off Social Media Act

This bill makes it illegal for social media platforms to knowingly let children under 13 create or have accounts, and requires platforms to delete any existing accounts and personal data belonging to those children. It also stops 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 have to pay back the funding they received. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules for platforms, and states could also sue platforms that violate the law, while schools would need to send their internet safety policies to the Federal Communications Commission.
