NY proposes legislation to regulate minors' social media usage and protect online privacy

unhealthy social media usage by prohibiting minors from accessing addictive feeds without parental consent.

The two bills, both sponsored by Gounardes and Rozic, will protect children by prohibiting online platforms from collecting and sharing their personal data without consent and limiting addictive features of social media platforms that are known to harm their mental health and development. Allow parents to block access to social media platforms for minors between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. and limit the total number of hours per day that a minor spends on platforms.

Provide platforms an opportunity to cure any claim brought by the parent/guardian of a covered minor.
