Who this affects: This bill mainly affects kids and teens who use social media, messaging, online games, adult-content sites, and AI chatbots. It also directly affects parents who manage those accounts. Online platforms, game companies, chatbot providers, the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, schools, nonprofits, and law enforcement would all have new roles or duties.

Why this matters: Kids and teens now face different online safety rules depending on the company and state. This bill would create national rules for many services they use every day. It could make safety tools easier to find and harder to ignore. It could also raise costs for companies and limit some state choices, depending on how agencies and courts apply the law.

Key provisions in H.R. 7757

• The bill mainly covers minors under 17. Some rules treat children under 13 differently from teens.
• Adult sites would have to check users' ages if more than one-third of their content is sexual material harmful to minors. They must use available age-check tools and protect the data used for that check.
• The bill covers many public websites, apps, and services. These services must allow searchable user accounts, rely on user-created content, use features that boost engagement, and use personal data for ads or recommendations.
• Covered platforms must have reasonable policies for specific harms to minors. These include serious violent threats, sexual exploitation and abuse, illegal or age-limited products and activities, and financial harm from deceptive practices.
• Platforms must give minors safety tools and use the strongest privacy and safety settings by default. These tools must limit contact, control recommendations, restrict location sharing, and reduce features that push compulsive use.
