Summary
The bill forces major social‑media services to build and maintain interfaces that let a child or their parent give a third‑party safety app permission to manage the child’s interactions, content, and settings on the platform. It applies to platforms with over 100 million monthly users or $1 billion in annual revenue. The goal is to give families a tool to protect children from online harm.
