New Social Media Rules: Less Addiction, More Transparency

This act aims to reduce the negative impact of social media on users' mental and physical health. It requires large social media platforms to research and implement solutions to reduce addiction and harmful content, and increases their transparency regarding content moderation. Citizens can expect new features that will help them better control their online time and protect themselves from manipulation.
Key points
Social media platforms will be required to implement features to help reduce addiction, such as screen time alerts.
Increased transparency: platforms will publish reports on how they moderate content and the number of moderators they employ.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will oversee the implementation of these changes and can impose penalties for non-compliance.
