Parents Over Platforms Act
To ensure responsible age assurance practices within the mobile ecosystem, particularly concerning the protection of minors, and for other purposes.
The Parents Over Platforms Act aims to ensure that age assurance practices are reliable and effective, particularly to protect minors in the digital world. It seeks to hold mobile platforms accountable for verifying the age of users before they can access certain services, ensuring that minors are protected from harmful content.
This bill would primarily affect mobile app developers and social media platforms. It would require these platforms to implement robust age verification processes to ensure that minors do not access age-restricted content. This could include stricter requirements for age verification during account creation and regular audits to ensure compliance.
As of December 1, 2025, HB6333 has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where it was then sent to the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. On December 11, 2025, the subcommittee held a consideration and mark-up session, forwarding the bill to the full committee by voice vote. Further steps will involve the committee reviewing and potentially amending the bill before it is voted on by the full House.
