Plain-English Summary

This bill would strengthen privacy protections for children and teenagers online by limiting how companies can collect, use, and share their personal data without parental consent. It would require social media platforms and other websites to be more transparent about their data practices and give young users more control over their information. The law would apply to companies that knowingly collect data from minors and could result in penalties for violations.
