H.R. 7757

In brief

The Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act requires online platforms to implement specific safeguards for minors, including age-verification technology on sites where over one-third of the content is sexual material. Social media companies must disable ephemeral messaging for minors and provide parental controls to manage privacy and communication settings, while video game platforms must allow parents to restrict in-game purchases. Additionally, artificial intelligence chatbot providers must disclose their non-human status and provide crisis hotline information to young users. Introduced by Representative Brett Guthrie (R-KY), the bill passed the House in June 2026 and is currently under consideration in the Senate.
