- North Carolina youth social media ban clears additional hurdle as it heads toward Senate vote
North Carolina's Senate Judiciary committee advanced House Bill 301, which would ban users 13 and under from 'addictive' social media apps and require parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds. The bill defines 'addictive' platforms by features like infinite scrolling and algorithmic content, and includes amendments to prohibit data sales and algorithmic targeting for minors. Opponents argue it overreaches and could hinder educational resources.
