Bill overview
The Safer Gaming Act requires online video game providers to offer safeguards for minors. Specifically, it mandates that providers allow parents to limit communication between their children and other users within the games. The bill also establishes requirements for how these safeguards must be implemented, including accessibility and default settings, and empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce compliance. Finally, it allows states to take legal action if they believe residents' interests are threatened by violations of the act.
