Assessments
Luna materially supported a matching proposal by introducing H.R. 7433, the Kids Off Social Media Act, in the 119th Congress. The bill directly tracks the promise by barring under-13 social media accounts, requiring termination of known child accounts, and requiring deletion of associated personal data. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no indication it passed Congress or became law. Because the promised policy outcome was not delivered, but Luna made a serious legislative attempt in a later House term, this is scored as never with an effort badge.
The matching federal proposals would prohibit under-13 social media accounts and require deletion of underage accounts and data, but they have not passed Congress or become law. During Luna's first term, the relevant House bill was sponsored by Rep. John James, had only Rep. Patrick Ryan as a cosponsor, and stalled after subcommittee referral; Luna is not shown as sponsor or cosponsor. The later Senate bill advanced to the Senate calendar but remains at introduced status, with no evidence of Luna materially advancing it. Because the promised support/delivery is not shown and the policy outcome has not been enacted, this is not fulfilled.
