Summary

The bill tells social media and similar sites to block recommendation features for users under 18 unless the site can prove the user is older or gets a parent’s consent. It also caps the times minors can receive push notifications, requires default privacy settings that restrict access, and forces platforms to let parents set stricter controls. Violating any part of the law would be treated as a deceptive trade practice.
