Bill > S3663

This bill, the Kids Online Safety Act, aims to protect the safety of children on the internet. It imposes a duty of care on covered platforms, which include social media services, video games, and other online services, to act in the best interests of minors and take reasonable measures to prevent and mitigate harms such as mental health disorders, addiction-like behaviors, violence, sexual exploitation, and predatory marketing. The bill requires covered platforms to provide minors and parents with safeguards and tools to control privacy, content recommendations, and time spent on the platform. It also mandates transparency through annual public reporting on risks to minors and prevention measures, and establishes a program for independent researchers to access platform data to study harms to minors. The bill will be enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general.
