Bipartisan bills propose parental consent and age limits for minors on social media.

A new bipartisan bill called the Protecting Kids on Social Media Act would require parental consent for anyone under 18 to use social media and bar platforms from using algorithms to feed content to minors. The bill also sets the minimum age to use the platforms to 13 and creates a pilot program for a new, age-verification credential that could be used to enroll on social media platforms. However, the bill has raised privacy concerns as it requires companies to take reasonable steps beyond merely requiring attestation to verify users' ages.
