An Act Establishing a Minimum Age for Social Media Use, Prescribing Obligations for Social Media Platforms, Providing Penalties Therefor, and for Other Purposes
The Social Media Safety Act would ban anyone under 16 from creating or using a social‑media account, unless a school authorizes it for a class activity. Platforms must check users’ ages with ID or facial‑recognition tools, keep the data safe under the Data Privacy Act, and face heavy fines or loss of their license if they do not comply.
