Kids Off Social Media Act

Introduced·1/28/25

Bans social media accounts for children under 13, restricts personalized recommendation systems for teens, and limits social media use in schools.

The Kids Off Social Media Act prohibits social media platforms from allowing users under 13 to create accounts. It also bans these platforms from using personalized recommendation systems for individuals under 17. Additionally, the Eyes on the Board Act of 2025 updates the Children’s Internet Protection Act to restrict schools from using broadband subsidies for social media access unless they certify compliance with certain measures. Schools must also implement internet safety policies and ensure students do not access social media on school-supported services, devices, or networks.
