Promoting Safe Internet Use: New National Campaign for Minors Under 17.

This law mandates the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to launch a nationwide educational campaign focused on promoting safe internet use for individuals under 17. This means parents and guardians will gain access to new resources, best practices, and tools to better manage online risks, including preventing digital addiction and blocking access to harmful content. The campaign must be implemented within 180 days.
Key points
A national public awareness program will be established to educate parents, schools, and children on best practices for online safety.
The definition of a "minor" covered by these safety provisions is set as an individual under the age of 17.
The focus of online safety is broadened to include protecting minors' mental health and preventing access to illegal or adult content (narcotics, gambling, alcohol, cybercrimes).
