Safe Social Media Act
This bill mandates the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), working with the CDC, to study social media use by teens under 18. The study will examine data collection practices, algorithmic use of personal information, daily usage patterns, mental health impacts, and potential harms linked to extended use. It requires the FTC to submit a report to Congress within one year of enactment, including any recommended policy changes based on findings. The bill applies to social media platforms with at least 30 million monthly U.S. users. It does not create new regulations but focuses solely on gathering data through a mandated study.
