Story summary

Project 2029 released the “Kids Over Clicks” proposal on June 29, 2026, urging a ban on social-media for under-16s.
The proposal would narrow Section 230 so AI firms and platforms can be sued for harmful content.
It also calls for banning cell phones in schools, discouraging smartphones until age 14, and privacy-by-default settings.
The House will vote on the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, but bipartisan senators reject removing the duty-of-care provision.
