American Democrats and Republicans agree on the negative effects of social media on minors, who have presented a bipartisan bill to the US Senate, the 'Protecting Kids on Social Media Act'. The measure will establish that children under 13 are banned from social networks and those between 13 and 17 need parental consent to create an account. According to those who sponsored the law, social media is responsible for the worsening mental health crisis in the country and has also contributed to the increase in suicidal behavior among children and young people. The measure comes as Congress is seeking to make social media platforms safer for children. Among the hypotheses, also the TikTok ban. In fact, under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, known as the Coppa, social media companies already prohibit children under the age of 13 from using their platforms, but the law is often circumvented.
