This bill aims to prohibit social media platforms from utilizing designs, algorithms, practices, or features that could potentially lead child users—defined as individuals under 18 years old—to develop eating disorders. The bill specifically mentions that platforms should not promote diet products or any other features that could contribute to such disorders. To ensure compliance, social media platforms must conduct quarterly internal audits and hire an independent third party for annual audits to assess their practices. If any issues are identified, the platforms are required to take corrective action within 30 days of receiving notification.

Additionally, the bill outlines 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 solely by third parties. It also provides protections for platforms against liability for content involving child users that is safeguarded by existing laws. Violations of the bill could result in civil penalties of up to $250,000 per incident. The legislation is set to take effect six months after its enactment.
