What it does

The RESET Act would prohibit covered social media platforms from allowing individuals under 16 to create or maintain accounts, requiring platforms to identify and terminate existing minor accounts within specified timelines and delete associated personal data, with limited access for data retrieval. Enforcement would be handled by the Federal Trade Commission as an unfair or deceptive practice, and states could bring civil actions under certain conditions, though they cannot enforce conflicting laws. The bill would take effect one year after enactment.
