Signed May 26, 2026 and effective July 1, 2027, this law requires large social media platforms to estimate users' ages, obtain verifiable parental consent before creating or keeping accounts for children 15 and under, set children's accounts to the most private settings, and give parents time-limit tools. It bars addictive features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, and profile-based feeds, and bars targeted advertising, in children's accounts, and forbids selling or disclosing children's account information.
