This bill would ban children under age 14 from creating accounts on social media platforms and allow children ages 14 and 15 to create accounts only with parental consent. The bill also requires commercial entities that publish or distribute material harmful to minors on a website or app to use age verification. These overbroad restrictions violate children's First Amendment rights and raise privacy concerns.
