New York State passed a law to give parents more control over their kids' social media use, affecting apps like TikTok and Instagram. This measure aims to combat the mental health crisis among youths fueled by social media platforms.
The SAFE for Kids Act mandates social media companies to verify users' ages. Another bill, the New York Child Data Protection Act, prohibits tech firms from profiting from minors' data. Big Tech lobbied heavily against these laws.
Attorney General Letitia James highlighted the mental health crisis in children caused by social media and the profits made by big tech companies. New York is leading the way in protecting children's mental health over tech profits.
