There's a push to address social media addiction.
There's only a week and a half left in the legislative session and New York Governor Kathy Hochul is highlighting the need to get the bills passed that aim to protect children from the dangers of social media.
"You can not continue the practice of bombarding young people with these absolutely addictive algorithms. I can not overstate the powerful raw they have on our young people."
One bill will require social-media companies to restrict the addictive features on their platforms. Another will will restrict online sites from collecting, using or selling personal data of children without consent. Hochul hopes lawmakers will vote on these bills before the session ends in early June.
