Key points
  • Requires the FTC, working with the Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration, to submit the report to Congress and post it publicly within one year of the date of enactment.
  • Covers how often minors can reach fentanyl sellers on social media, the health and safety risks involved, how sellers market and deliver the drug, and how platform design and existing platform policies affect access.
  • Requires the report to include recommendations for Congress and allows the FTC, in consultation with the Attorney General, to redact details that would compromise law enforcement tactics.
  • Defines social media platforms to exclude broadband internet providers, email, and sites where preselected content is primary and chat features are incidental.
