App stores would have to collect users' stated ages and share age signals with app makers when allowed. Parents would get tools to block kids from some apps, and app makers could not target minors with personalized ads.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 6333: Forwarded by Subcommittee to Full Committee by Voice Vote.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects children and teens who use apps, and the parents who manage those devices. It also affects app stores, operating system providers, and app makers because they would need age checks, parental control tools, and limits on ads and age data. States and local governments would also be affected because the federal rules would replace their laws on the same subjects.
Why this matters: Kids today can use many apps without the same age checks or parent tools across every platform. This bill would create one national system for age signals, parental controls, and limits on personalized ads to minors. It could make app rules easier for parents and companies to understand. It could also raise privacy concerns because companies may need to collect or process more age-related information.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
