And more on social media. New York now is trying to restrict algorithms that target young users on a number of social platforms, social media platforms. Yesterday two new bills were introduced that are designed to protect children's mental health. The stop addictive feeds, exploitation or safe for kids act would limit certain features of social media for Children. They could opt out of receiving feeds. It's driven by algorithms designed to keep them on the platform for as long as possible while gathering their data. Those who opt out would receive chronological feeds instead a lot like Instagram a second bill, the New York Child Data Protection Act would prohibit platforms from collecting children's data without consent. Both bills carry fines of up to $5000 per violation in announcing the bills. New York, Governor Kathy Hoel compared social media algorithms to cigarettes and alcohol.
