Bill overview
This bill requires online application stores, websites, and other online platforms to verify a user’s age before they can access applications. It mandates that manufacturers take steps to estimate a user’s age, obtain parental consent for minors, and provide age signals to developers. The bill also includes provisions to prevent manufacturers from using data in a way that harms competition and ensures developers offer parental oversight features for children’s app usage, with potential civil penalties for non-compliance.
