Would require social media platforms to disable, by default, algorithmic feeds, autoplay, infinite scroll, and other addictive design features on minors' accounts, send reminders after extended use, and turn off notifications overnight. Requires an age verification method that need not rely solely on government issued identification. Passed the Senate 38 to 2 on July 9, 2026, and is now before the House, which took a different under-14 ban approach in its own bill.
