""We're taking steps here in Massachusetts to protect our young people, to actually take the power away from social media platforms and give that power to young people and to parents.""
""The social media platforms have already shown, over the last decade, that they are not responsible caretakers or protectors of our young people.""
Governor Maura Healey proposed legislation to require social media platforms to verify user ages and limit exposure to addictive features for young users. The bill aims to protect youth from mental health crises linked to social media. It mandates disabling features like infinite scroll and auto-play for users under 18, restricts access during school hours, and limits daily use to two hours. Users aged 15 and younger cannot change these settings without parental consent.
