  • Connecticut AG William Tong announced his intent to work with the legislature to enact a prohibition on social media companies exposing minors to algorithms and notifications that he alleges are harmful without parental consent.
  • According to the press release, the legislation will require social media platforms to use default settings for youth accounts regarding privacy, time of use, and notifications, require parental consent to alter the default settings, and require social media companies to annually report certain information regarding use of their platforms by minors.
  • We recently covered legislation California AG Rob Bonta sponsored requiring social media companies to display a black box warning about the risks associated with youth social media use.
