Lets parents use safety software to manage their child's social media accounts.
This bill would let parents and children aged 13 and older use special safety software to manage a child's social media accounts. Large social media companies would have to create ways for this software to connect, giving families more tools to protect kids from online harms like cyberbullying or trafficking. The Federal Trade Commission would oversee these safety software companies.
Currently, large social media platforms are not required to provide special access for third-party safety software to manage a child's account. This means parents and children have limited options for using external tools to oversee online interactions. If this bill becomes law, large social media platforms would be required to create these access points, allowing parents and children (13+) to delegate control to registered safety software. This would give families more direct ways to manage and protect a child's online experience.
