Plain-English Summary
This bill would require operating system makers like Apple and Microsoft to let users set their age, and then require app developers, websites, and web browsers to ask the operating system for that age information before allowing access. The goal is to help protect children online by giving websites and apps an easier way to verify users' ages without collecting personal information directly. This would affect tech companies, app developers, and potentially millions of internet users of all ages.
