Without parental consent, platforms would default to chronological posts and pause notifications overnight, under the legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can protect our kids,\u201d Hochul said at a press conference at the United Federation of Teachers\u2019 headquarters. \u201cWe can tell the companies, you are not allowed to do this, you don\u2019t have a right to do this, that parents should have say over the children\u2019s lives and their health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In New York City, 90% of teens who use the platforms every day reported feelings of general worry and 56% said they\u2019ve had at least some depressive symptoms, according to a Health Department report released earlier that afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 78% of parents believe the government should restrict the type of access platforms give teens, health officials found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York Attorney General Letitia James\u2019 office is tasked with writing regulations before the new algorithmic-feed restrictions can officially go into effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James will determine how users can&nbsp;verify their age and parental consent. Critics warn that can be tricky without creating new concerns for minors, and the attorney general told reporters the process will take \u201cas long as it takes to make sure we get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In anticipation of the Hochul\u2019s signing of the legislation, tech companies opposing the law have been mulling litigation to stop the bills in their tracks. Those who wrote the bills believe they\u2019re narrowly tailored enough to survive legal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe bill dictates what speech platforms can and cannot show users, so it\u2019s going to face a constitutional minefield,\u201d said Adam Kovacevich, CEO of the tech policy coalition Chamber of Progress. \u201cIt\u2019s a well-intentioned effort, but it\u2019s aimed at the wrong target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>from NY official website<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legislation S.7694A\/A.8148A Establishes the SAFE For Kids Act To Put First-in-the-Nation Restrictions on Addictive Social Media Feeds for Minors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legislation S.7695B\/A.8149A Enables the New York Child Data Protection Act To Prohibit Online Sites from Collecting Personal Data of Minors Without Consent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York Establishes the Nation\u2019s Most Stringent Protections To Safeguard Kids on Social Media<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Builds on the Governor\u2019s Ongoing Efforts To Address the Youth Mental Health Crisis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two bills take aim at allegedly&nbsp;&ldquo;addictive&rdquo; algorithmic feeds&nbsp;designed to keep kids glued to their phones [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1244"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1252,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1244\/revisions\/1252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/LeFachicette\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
