The Safer GAMING Act requires online video game companies to provide parents with tools to control and limit communication between their children and other players, including adults. These safeguards must be easy to use, automatically turned on for minor players' accounts, and can only be disabled by parents—not by the children themselves. The law takes effect one year after passage and applies to all interactive online games that allow player-to-player communication over the internet. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce the law and can penalize companies that fail to comply, while state attorneys general also have authority to sue on behalf of residents. The legislation preempts state laws on this topic, meaning states cannot enact their own separate requirements for online game safety.
