Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to study and report on safety tools that parents and tech companies use to protect children online, including parental controls and age verification systems. The report would examine how well these tools work, what barriers prevent their use, and what improvements could help keep minors safer on the internet. This affects parents, children, technology companies, and regulators working to address online safety concerns.
