Hey, it's Robin Hilton from NPR Music.

Many years ago, I helped start the Tiny Desk concert series.

And right now, NPR is looking for the next great, undiscovered musician to perform behind the famous desk.

Think you've got what it takes?

Submit a video of you playing an original song to the Tiny Desk Contest by February 10th.

You're listening to the 1A podcast. I'm Naila Boodoo in for Jen White. And this is in case you

missed it, where we bring some of the week's

most important conversations you might have missed. Social media bans for minors have been making

the rounds internationally, and now Congress is looking to follow that lead. The Senate passed the

Kids' Online Safety Act in July. The bill was first introduced by Senators Richard

Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn.

Here's Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington.

This legislation by Blackburn and Blumenthal will hold social media accountable for prioritizing

their engagement and keeping kids safe.

In November, Australia imposed a sweeping ban on social media for users under 16 years old.

The ban holds social media companies responsible for enforcing age restrictions on their sites

and prohibits minors under age 16 from using those sites or creating new accounts. The law doesn't name specific sites,

but companies could face fines to up to 50 million Australian dollars, that's equivalent to about

$32 million U.S. dollars, if they violate the ban. How are social media bans like Australia's

enforced, and what would it take to pass similar measures in the U.S.?

Anna North joins us to discuss after the break.
