Legislation introduced on April 26 by a group of bipartisan senators would set a minimum age for social media use and impose other restrictions on how social media platforms present content to minors.
Sponsored by Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), and Katie Britt (R-Ala.), the bill would require social media platforms to verify that users are older than 13 and to obtain parental consent for users aged 13 to 17.
