Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would require social media platforms to get verified parental consent before allowing children under 16 to create or use an account. Platforms would need to verify users' ages and suspend accounts of minors until consent is given. Parents could also revoke consent and ask for their child's account to be deleted. The Attorney General would enforce these rules.
