This bill aims to prohibit social media platforms from promoting practices or features that could lead to eating disorders among child users, defined as individuals under 18 years of age. It specifically targets designs, algorithms, practices, or features that the platforms know, or should reasonably know, could contribute to the development of eating disorders, including the promotion of diet products. The bill outlines that social media platforms can avoid liability if they implement an internal audit program to assess their practices and take corrective action within 30 days if any harmful practices are identified. Additionally, platforms controlled by businesses with less than $100 million in revenue or those primarily focused on gaming are exempt from these provisions.

The legislation also clarifies that social media platforms will not be held liable for user-generated content unless it is paid for by the platform, nor for content created by third parties that is passively displayed. Furthermore, protections under existing laws, such as 47 U.S.C. s.230 and constitutional provisions, are maintained for content involving child users. Violations of the bill could result in civil penalties of up to $250,000 per incident, enforceable through the Penalty Enforcement Law. The act is set to take effect six months after its enactment.
