No Fentanyl on Social Media Act

S. 3618 would direct the Federal Trade Commission, working with the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services, to study and report on how minors can access fentanyl through social media platforms. The report would examine the prevalence of fentanyl availability to young people, how drug sellers use social media to market and distribute fentanyl, what platform design features enable such access, and what measures social media companies currently have in place to prevent drug trafficking. The bill would also require recommendations for Congress on how to reduce minors' ability to obtain fentanyl online.

If enacted, this bill would not directly regulate social media companies or impose new requirements on them. Instead, it would gather information and data to help Congress understand the scope of fentanyl trafficking on social media platforms targeting young people. The report would be made publicly available and would include input from parents, law enforcement, medical professionals, and social media platforms themselves. This is currently under consideration in the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
