RESET Act
The RESET Act prohibits social media platforms from allowing users under 16 to create or maintain accounts. Platforms must identify existing minor accounts within 60 days of enactment, notify users within 180 days, and terminate accounts within 30 days of notification. Upon termination, platforms must delete all personal data collected from minors and provide a readable, portable copy of that data for 90 days after termination. Enforcement is handled by the Federal Trade Commission and allows states to pursue legal action for violations.
