AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Federal Trade Commission, within 180 days, to run a nationwide program to promote safe internet use by minors, working with other agencies, state and local governments, nonprofits, schools, industry, law enforcement, and medical professionals. The program would identify best practices for educators, online platforms, minors, and parents, run an outreach and education campaign, and help people share and access online safety information. The Commission would report to Congress on these activities each year for 10 years. The bill defines a minor as a person under age 17 and replaces several existing sections of current law on this subject.
