AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would expand the federal children's online privacy law so that it also covers teens, defined as ages 13 through 16, and applies to online and mobile apps as well as websites. It would bar covered operators from using the personal information of children and teens for targeted advertising and limit how long they can keep that information. Teens, and parents of children, could request to see, correct, or delete personal information an operator has collected. The bill would also block states from enforcing their own laws related to these provisions and require the Federal Trade Commission to send yearly enforcement reports to Congress.
