Bipartisan support makes it more likely to move, but many bills about kids' online safety are competing for attention in Congress right now.

Key Points

  • The Federal Trade Commission would start a nationwide campaign to teach kids and parents how to stay safe online. This includes sharing the best ways for schools and websites to protect children from digital dangers.
  • The program aims to protect anyone under age 17 from online crimes and adult content like gambling, tobacco, and drugs. It also looks for ways to stop kids from spending too much time online or developing habits that hurt their mental health.
  • The government would work with schools, doctors, and tech companies to share information about the latest risks. They want to make sure parents know how to use tools like parental controls to keep their families safe.
  • The agency would have to send a report to Congress every year for the next decade. This report would explain what the government is doing to help and how well the safety programs are working.
