Online Child Safety Act

The Online Child Safety Act addresses the protection of children in online settings by requiring that parental control features be made available in connection with the products or services within its reach. Its principal mechanism is a mandate on covered entities to provide such controls, together with terms governing how those controls are to be made available and whether any charge may be attached to them. The act also fixes the meanings of its operative terms, delimits the persons and offerings to which it applies, and records the legislative purpose behind the requirement.
