S.3175

Massachusetts S3175 aims to protect minors from addictive social media feeds by regulating how social media platforms operate for users under 18.

Massachusetts S3175, known as the "Act protecting children from addictive social media feeds," mandates that social media platforms implement specific safety measures for minors. These measures include disabling addictive features like autoplay and infinite scroll, restricting content visibility to connected accounts, and limiting direct messaging to connected accounts. The bill also requires platforms to use age assurance methods to identify minors and to set default safety settings for users determined to be minors.
