HB 7757 combines several federal child online-safety measures, requiring age verification on adult platforms, mandatory parental controls, and bans on profiling minors for ads.
HB 7757 bundles several federal child-safety measures into one bill. It requires platforms hosting sexually explicit material to verify users' ages before granting access, compels social media companies to offer meaningful parental control tools and to disable addictive design features aimed at minors, bans the collection and sale of children's data for targeted advertising, and restricts AI chatbots from deceiving or manipulating young users.
The American Council supports HB 7757 because it puts parents back in charge of their children's digital lives instead of leaving that responsibility to platforms built to maximize a child's screen time. Scripture calls parents to guard the hearts and minds of their children (Proverbs 22:6), and this bill gives that God-given duty real legal backing against companies that have profited from exposing kids to harmful and exploitative content. The bill regulates platform conduct rather than government speech, keeping it consistent with our commitment to religious and expressive liberty.
HB 7757 passed the House and was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on July 13, 2026, where it now awaits further action before it can reach the Senate floor.
