Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require social media platforms and online services to implement safety features protecting children from harmful content, predators, and excessive screen time, while giving parents better tools to monitor their kids' online activity. Tech companies would need to follow new standards for protecting minors' privacy and data, and could face penalties if they fail to meet these requirements. The bill affects social media companies, app developers, internet service providers, and families with children who use online platforms.
