S 4213 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Kids Off Social Media Act

The Kids Off Social Media Act prohibits social media platforms from allowing children under 13 to create accounts and requires platforms to delete all personal data when children's accounts are terminated. It bans social media platforms from using personalized recommendation systems for children or teens (ages 12-17), with limited exceptions for basic device information like language settings or location. The bill also requires schools receiving certain broadband subsidies to implement technology protection measures blocking student access to social media during school use and adopt grade-specific screen time policies for device usage. Schools must annually certify compliance with these requirements to maintain eligibility for subsidized internet services. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general would enforce these provisions.
