New York State Sen. Andrew Gounardes is introducing a new bill to regulate kids online safety.

The New York Children’s Online Safety Act regulates how minors can communicate on social networks.

It would require any public or “semi-public” platform used by minors aimed at letting users create profiles, post content, and interact with others to make the profiles of minors private by default, preventing them from having their profiles viewed by strangers.

NYCOSA would let the New York attorney general seek $ 5,000 in damages per violation.

Gounardes based the legislation on the Federal Trade Commission’s 2022 settlement with Fortnite maker Epic Games .

Roblox announced earlier this week that it would prohibit kids under the age of 13 from sending private messages.
