Many online porn platforms would have to use real age-check technology before users can see content harmful to minors. The bill also limits how age-check data can be used and lets the Federal Trade Commission enforce the rules.
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.
SCREEN Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Latest action on S. 737: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects online platforms that regularly make money from pornographic or similar visual sexual content. It also affects adults who use those sites, minors who try to access them, and companies that provide age-check technology. The Federal Trade Commission would gain new oversight work, and Congress would get a later Government Accountability Office review of the law's effects.
Why this matters: This bill could make online porn harder for minors to reach, but it could also change how adults prove their age online. The biggest tradeoff is between child safety and privacy. Age checks may require personal or device-linked data, even if the bill limits how platforms can use and keep it. The bill leaves many technical details to platforms and Federal Trade Commission oversight, so the real effects would depend on how the systems work in practice.
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.
