Christopher Hutton is a technology reporter for the Washington Examiner covering Big Tech companies like Facebook and X as well as the regulatory efforts by Washington to rein in the tech companies. He previously wrote for a number of other outlets, including Daily Dot, Pando Daily, Religion Unplugged, and other outlets.
Lawmakers in New York introduced legislation to regulate teenagers' ability to access social media by requiring parental consent before they can access algorithm-driven feeds.
The bill would implement restrictions on services such as TikTok's"For You" page but would not affect content viewed through chronological feeds, such as TikTok's"Following" page. The law would also allow parents or guardians to limit the number of hours teenagers can access platforms and restrict access between midnight and 6 a.m. Failure to comply with the law could lead to fines of up to $6,500 in damages per violation.
Meta noted it already provides many of the requested tools but that the algorithms that the legislation targets block harmful content.
