Summary

The Children’s Social Media Safety Act obligates OS makers to ask for a birth date or age when a device is first set up and to transmit a limited age‑bracket signal to app developers. Developers must use that signal to apply default safety settings for minors and may not share the data beyond what the law allows. Violations are treated as consumer fraud and carry civil penalties.
