The Children's Default to Safety Act mandates filters on devices to block harmful content for minors.
The Children's Default to Safety Act requires manufacturers to enable and passcode-protect filters on devices to block harmful content for minors. The filters must prevent access to harmful material on mobile data networks, applications, wired and wireless internet networks. The act also prohibits anyone except a parent or legal guardian from providing the passcode to remove the filter on a device in the possession of a minor. Violators face fines and potential jail time.
