New York is enforcing laws to regulate social media algorithms for children. New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed two laws aimed at safeguarding children online: The Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids act and the Child Data Protection Act. The first refers to algorithm-driven content and seeks to prohibit social media companies from providing personalized news feeds for under-18-year-olds without parental approval. If these new regulations come into effect, social media companies in New York will no longer be able to offer their standard algorithmic feeds to teen users and will instead need to provide alternate versions of their apps.
