Requires tech companies to check user ages and share age ranges with apps and websites.
This bill would require companies that make phone and computer operating systems to ask users for their age. This age information would then be shared as a simple age range with apps and websites. The goal is to help protect children online by ensuring they don't see content or ads meant for adults.
Today, many apps and websites rely on users to self-report their age, which can be inaccurate. After this bill, operating systems on devices like phones and computers would verify a user's age and then share a secure, private signal with only the user's age range (like under 13, 13-15, 16, or 17 and older) to apps and websites. This would create a more consistent way to ensure age-appropriate experiences online and protect children from targeted advertising.
