This legislation would require social media platforms and online services to take steps to protect children from harmful content, predators, and addictive design features, while giving parents more tools to monitor their kids' online activity. The bill would hold companies responsible if they knowingly allow illegal content targeting minors and would establish safety standards that tech companies must follow. It affects social media companies, online platforms, parents, and children by changing how these services operate and what protections they must provide.
