New York Governor Kathy Hochul looks to curb social media addiction in children through new law.
One law aims to restrict algorithms that hook kids on social media , and the other will limit the collection of personal data.The New York state Legislature on Friday passed a bill that would allow parents to block their kids from getting social media posts suggested by a platform's algorithm - a regulation that tries to curtail feeds that critics argue are addicting to children.
The legislation tasks Attorney General Letitia James, who pushed for the bill, with coming up with rules to determine both the age of the user and a mechanism to determine parental consent. The bill would take effect 180 days after James establishes those guidelines. In a statement, Carl Szabo, vice president and general counsel of NetChoice, a tech industry trade group that includes X and Meta, called the legislation "an assault on free speech and the open internet by the state of New York."
