US House Committee Reaches Bipartisan Agreement on Youth Social Media Regulation
US House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders have reached a bipartisan agreement on legislation to regulate social media use among children and teenagers. The proposal aims to enhance online safety by introducing safeguards and parental tools to hold Big Tech accountable. While details remain limited, the agreement excludes a 'duty of care' provision, a point of contention among some lawmakers and child safety advocates. The legislation will undergo further debate as it progresses through Congress.
