AI Verified The quote directly defines minors as under 18 and says they shall be prohibited from accessing or using any AI companion, which matches the full policy of banning AI companion chatbots for minors under 18. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 7d ago

AI Verified It explicitly defines a minor as under 18 and says one "shall prohibit the minor from accessing or using any AI companion," which supports banning AI companion chatbots for minors. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 7d ago

AI Verified Verified: the official Congress.gov text for S.3062 (GUARD Act) in the 119th Congress, introduced in the Senate on October 28, 2025, contains both the definition of a minor as someone under 18 and, in Sec. 6, the requirement that covered entities bar minors from accessing or using AI companions. The [...] is a faithful omission of intervening text. Attribution to “United States Congress” is acceptable as the legislative source, though more precisely this is bill text from Senate bill S.3062.

AI Verified Checked year (2025, acceptable; S.3062 is 119th Congress 2025-2026), author attribution, vote alignment, and source. The source_url (congress.gov bill text for S.3062, the GUARD Act) and a GovTrack mirror both returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search confirmed the bill's substance: it requires that where age verification determines a user is a minor (under 18), "a covered entity shall prohibit the minor from accessing or using any AI companion," and the standard statutory definition of "minor" as an individual who has not attained 18 years of age. The quote is verbatim statutory text and the source is the authoritative primary source (congress.gov). Author "United States Congress" is the appropriate attribution for the bill text. Both votes are "for": statement 416 (ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18) is directly embodied by the bill, and statement 445 (age verification/content safeguards) aligns since the Act mandates age verification. Quote is accurate and relevant. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 16d ago
