AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar certain social media and similar online platforms from conducting market or product-focused research on users or visitors they know are under age 13. For teens aged 13 to 16, platforms could conduct such research only after getting verifiable consent from a parent. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules as unfair or deceptive practices, and state attorneys general could also sue on behalf of residents. States and local governments could not enforce their own laws relating to these provisions. The law would take effect 90 days after enactment.
