This legislation establishes the Parental Rights in Social Media Act. Social media, often designed to encourage habitual use, is associated with mental health issues in minors and can be used by child predators. Many social media companies also collect and profit from the data collected on minors who use their platforms. This legislation empowers parents to protect their children by requiring parental consent for children to open accounts, and gives parents a remedy to hold companies accountable.
