Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has enacted the Age-Appropriate Online Design Code Act to help protect children's mental health by requiring social platforms to allow users to opt-out of recommendation algorithms that may contribute to increased screen time. The legislation mandates that platforms provide chronological feeds, pause notifications during specified times, and enable users to limit their engagement.
