Did you know Politicians say they can make social media less ‘addictive’. Experts aren’t so sure.
New York's recent laws on "addictive" social media feeds aim to protect children under 18, but experts question their effectiveness and enforceability. Governor Kathy Hochul argues the laws, including the SAFE for Kids Act and the Child Data Protection Act, will shield minors from harmful content and excessive data collection. These laws, set for 2025, require parental consent for apps like TikTok and Instagram and restrict notifications at night. However, critics argue the science linking social media to mental health issues is unclear, and enforcing these regulations may be difficult. Some suggest a unified federal approach might be more effective than individual state laws.
