Kids under 13 could not have accounts on covered social media sites when the site knows their age. Teens under 17 would get less data-driven content, and many schools would have to block student access to social media.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Kids Off Social Media Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 108.
Latest action on S. 278: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 108.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects children, teens, parents, social media companies, and schools. Children under 13 could lose access to covered social media accounts. Teens under 17 could see fewer recommendations based on their personal data. Schools that use E-Rate internet discounts would need stronger blocking and reporting systems. Platforms would need to change account, data, and feed systems to follow the law.
Why this matters: This bill could change how young people use social media every day. Younger children could be removed from covered platforms when their age is known. Teens could get feeds that rely less on their personal data. Schools could also become places where student access to social media is blocked on school systems, with their internet safety rules posted for the public to see.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
