Bill > A5069

This bill prohibits social media platforms from using certain practices or features that cause child users to become addicted to the platform. The bill defines key terms such as "addict," "addiction," "child user," and "social media platform." It allows platforms to avoid liability if they institute an audit program to identify and correct practices that contribute to child addiction. The bill exempts smaller platforms and those primarily used for gaming. It also limits liability for platform content not directly created or developed by the platform. Violators face civil penalties of up to $250,000 per violation.
