No Social Media at School Act

This bill would require social media companies to use geofencing, a virtual boundary, to block access to their platforms on elementary and secondary school campuses during the regular school day, as set by the local school district. Push notifications with weather alerts, Amber alerts, and other public safety messages from emergency responders would still be allowed. The bill states it does not require companies to collect new age data or to verify users' ages. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rule as an unfair or deceptive practice, and state attorneys general could also sue companies in court. Nonprofits, schools, and services such as email, text messaging, video games, shopping, and videoconferencing are not covered.
