[HIGHLIGHTS] US bill, 'social media banned for children under 13'

Between 13-17 years consent parents. Bipartisan proposal in the Senate (ANSA).

The move comes at a time when Congress is trying to make social media platforms safer for children. Among the hypotheses, also the ban on TikTok. In fact, under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, known as Coppa, social media companies already prohibit children under 13 from using their platforms. However, the law is often circumvented by social media firms. The measure will establish that children under 12 are banned from social networks and those between 13 and 17 need parental consent.
