Those rules include:

    Age verification for all users before they can open or maintain an account.

    Permission from parents before a minor can open a social media account.

    Restricts minors' use of social media from 10:30 pm to 6:30 am unless a parent changes those settings. The platforms must also ensure that children are unable to bypass those restrictions.

    Give parents the ability to access a minor's account, including all posts and private messages.

    Limits what personal information a social media platform can collect from minors.
