A federal study would look at how social media affects teenagers under 17.
This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission to study how social media affects individuals younger than 17. The study would look at things like mental health effects and how platforms use personal information. The findings would help Congress consider new rules within three years.
Today, no federal agency is required to study how social media affects teenagers and report findings to Congress. If this bill passes, the Federal Trade Commission would have to conduct such a study and give a report with policy ideas to Congress within three years of the bill becoming law.
