AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar certain online platforms from letting a person create or keep an account if the platform knows the person is under 16. Platforms would have to identify existing accounts of known minors, notify those users, and then close the accounts, deleting the users' personal data after giving them 90 days to request a copy. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules, and state attorneys general could also sue on behalf of residents. States and local governments could not keep or enforce their own laws related to these provisions.
