Voters should care about this bill because it addresses growing concerns about online privacy, especially for younger generations. In an age where almost everyone uses online services and apps, the amount of personal data collected can be vast, and how it's used for targeted advertising or profiling can feel intrusive and potentially harmful.
If this bill becomes law, it would mean children and teens get better protection from having their online activity tracked and monetized without clear consent. It would push online platforms to be more transparent and responsible with young users' data. If it doesn't pass, current privacy protections for children remain limited to those under 13, and the definition of what constitutes 'personal information' online would remain narrower, potentially leaving teens vulnerable to data collection practices that many find concerning.
