New York state took novel legislative steps on Friday to limit children’s exposure to computer algorithmic social media feeds, passing two laws to protect children from social media content and to protect their privacy.
The Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (Safe) for Kids Act requires social media companies to restrict feeds on their platforms for users under 18 unless parental consent is granted, and prohibits companies from sending notifications regarding feeds to minors from 12.00am to 6.00am.
