This bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to set up the Kids Internet Safety Partnership within one year, led by a Director the Secretary appoints. The Partnership would work with federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, and groups such as researchers, parents, educators, online platforms, and state attorneys general to identify risks, benefits, and best practices for minors using websites and apps. It would publish a public report within one year of being set up and every two years after that. Within two years, it would publish a playbook for app and website makers covering topics such as age verification, design features, parental tools, and default privacy settings. The Partnership would end five years after it is established.
