Sammy’s Law

This bill, titled Sammy's Law, requires large social media platforms with over 100 million monthly users or $1 billion in annual revenue to provide real-time access to third-party safety software providers. These platforms must create application programming interfaces that allow children under 17 or their parents to delegate control over the child's online interactions, content, and account settings to approved safety software providers. The third-party providers must register with the Federal Trade Commission, agree not to sell user data, and delete data within five days after a delegation ends. The bill also prohibits states from creating their own conflicting regulations on this matter and gives the FTC authority to enforce compliance.
