Bill overview
The SCREEN Act aims to protect children online by requiring commercial websites and online services to implement technology verification measures to ensure users are not minors. Specifically, these platforms must verify a user’s age, make their verification process public, and subject IP addresses to these measures unless a user is located in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission will oversee compliance and enforce these regulations, with a focus on data security and addressing potential loopholes like VPN usage. This legislation responds to concerns about children’s exposure to harmful online content and seeks to provide a more robust alternative to previous, unsuccessful attempts at online child protection.
