    Lawmakers Announce Legislation to Combat Youth Social Media Addiction

    Lawmakers Announce Legislation to Combat Youth Social Media Addiction
    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    Today, I joined Attorney General Tong, Rep. David Rutigliano (R-123), House Ranking Member of the General Law Committee, Sen. Maroney, Rep. Lemar, and Rep. Rader to announce a new legislative proposal to combat youth social media addiction.

    With the incredible proliferation of social media accounts and apps, protecting children from the dangers and addictions of some of these platforms is more important than ever. With the mental health of our children as a top priority, we need to take action.

    Several of us proposed separate bills to address this situation, and many of those concepts will be included in a larger bill being discussed in a public hearing today.

    The proposed legislation – HB 6857 –  would “prohibit social media companies from exposing minors to harmful and addictive algorithms and notifications without parental consent.” It would also “establish a series of default settings regarding account privacy, time of use and notifications, including barring notifications between midnight and 6 a.m. and limiting social media use to one hour per-day.”

    If you think this might be about your child, you might be right. Do you have a child between the ages of 8 and 16? Do they ride a bike, e-bike, electric scooter, or motorized mini-vehicle? These have become incredibly popular among kids—and understandably so. After remote learning and limited social interaction, it’s refreshing to […]
