What's In Scope

How Children's Online Safety bills are selected

In scope is any bill attaching a duty to an account held by a minor, or to the party providing it: age verification and age assurance, age-appropriate design codes, default settings and engagement design for minor accounts, app store and device-level accountability, companion chatbots where a minor is the user, and parental consent for account creation.

Scope is defined by a written topic profile that every bill is measured against. The profiles are drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills, not reviewed by an attorney. LawSignals is a research tool and does not provide legal advice.
