Bill > HR7433

This bill, titled the "Kids Off Social Media Act Eyes on the Board Act of 2026," aims to protect minors online by prohibiting social media platforms from allowing users under 13 to create or maintain accounts, and requiring them to terminate existing accounts of users they know to be under 13, while also deleting their personal data. It also restricts social media platforms from using "personalized recommendation systems" – automated systems that suggest content based on a user's personal data – for individuals under 17, with limited exceptions for basic device information or location. The bill defines "social media platform" broadly but excludes certain services like email, cloud storage, and educational platforms. Furthermore, it updates the Children's Internet Protection Act to prevent schools receiving federal funding for internet access from allowing students to access social media platforms on school devices or networks, requiring schools to implement monitoring and blocking technologies unless they obtain a waiver. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and State Attorneys General are tasked with enforcing these provisions, and the bill includes a severability clause stating that if any part is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.
