Kids Internet Safety Partnership Act

The Kids Internet Safety Partnership Act establishes a new program within the Commerce Department to improve online safety for children under 18. The program will work with parents, educators, online platforms, and experts to identify risks and benefits of digital services for minors, then develop practical safety guidelines. Within two years, it will publish a detailed guide for platforms on implementing features like age verification, parental controls, and design changes that reduce addictive elements (e.g., endless scrolling). The program will also release regular reports tracking how well platforms adopt these safety measures. The initiative will end after five years.
