Protecting Children from Social Media Act

Requires social media companies to verify the age of anyone opening a new account and to get verified express parental consent before a minor under 18 can hold an account. Parents must get tools to view privacy settings, set daily time limits, and schedule breaks, and data used for verification may not be retained. NetChoice's challenge is pending: the district court denied a preliminary injunction in June 2025, and on August 28, 2026 the Sixth Circuit vacated that denial and remanded, so the law is in effect but under active challenge.
