Kids Off Social Media Act

The Kids Off Social Media Act aims to drastically restrict access to social media for younger users and reshape how platforms handle personalization for minors. It would prohibit children under 13 from creating or maintaining social media accounts, require the termination of existing child accounts, and mandate deletion of their personal data (with a limited 90-day window for retrieving a copy upon termination). It also bars the use of personalized recommendation systems for children and teens, with narrow exceptions for certain minimal data (e.g., device type, language, location, and basic age indicators). Enforcement would be split between the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general, with possible civil actions and remedies. A related, separate Title II—the Eyes on the Board Act of 2025—expands school and library protections by updating federal rules tied to school broadband subsidies to require schools to certify they block access to social media and implement technology protection measures, and to adopt and share internet safety policies. Title II also revises how schools access certain federal funding and imposes reporting and compliance requirements, under FCC oversight. The package overall shifts both private-sector platform practices and public-school technology policies toward tighter controls on minor exposure to social media.
