As per WSJ, if this is passed, it would also prohibit platforms from sending minors notifications during overnight hours without parental consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protecting Children Online by Social Media Regulation Bill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the month of March, the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis had signed a bill that would ban children aged under 14 from social media platforms and it would also require parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds in an attempt to protect them from online risks to their mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York and Florida are not the first one in the list since there are many others which have adopted laws when it comes to regulating children&#8217;s access to social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utah became the first U.S. state to adopt such laws. This was followed by others including Arkansas, Louisiana, Ohio and Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shares of Meta and Snap were down about 1 percent in extended trading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As per reports, New York is planning to prohibit social media companies from using algorithms to control content to youth without parental consent under a tentative agreement reached by state lawmakers.
