Restricts social media access to users aged 16 and older.
The problem
Concerns about social media's effects on young people's mental health, development, and safety online have prompted lawmakers to consider age restrictions.
The proposal
The bill would require social media platforms to verify users are at least 16 years old before allowing account access.
The impact
Teen users under 16 lose social media access. Platforms must implement age verification systems. Young people's online communication changes.
Reduces exposure to cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and addictive features during critical developmental years. May improve mental health outcomes for children.
May lead younger teens to spend more time on homework, sports, and face-to-face friendships instead of scrolling social media.
Creates uniform age rules across platforms instead of allowing each company to set different policies, making it clearer for families.
Age verification systems are difficult and unreliable. Users can easily fake their age, making the rule ineffective without intrusive data collection.
Age verification may require sharing personal information, creating privacy and security risks. Companies could collect and misuse sensitive data.
Social media connects teens with friends, support groups, and communities. Blocking access removes a major way young people connect and organize.
Social media companies lose younger users and advertising revenue. May hurt tech industry growth and job creation.

Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself.
