New York to Restrict Social Media Algorithms for Teens
New York is close to passing a law that would restrict social media platforms from using algorithms to promote content to minors, requiring parental consent for algorithmically generated feeds. The legislation also aims to protect children's privacy by limiting data collection and sharing for users under 18. The proposed laws would allow parents to set stricter limits on their children's social media use and notifications. This move has faced significant tech industry lobbying and legal challenges in other states.
