58	59		SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law not to be

60	61		In recognition of the critical role social media plays in the
61	62		lives of minors and its impact on their mental well -being, this
62		-	Legislature is committed to safeguarding the youth from accessing
63		-	platforms that have demonstrated adverse effects on their mental
64		-	health due to the addictive elements found in social media and the
65		-	targeting of minors through the use of algorithms by social media
66		-	platforms. This Legislature's intent is not to censor content found

	91	+	health due to the addictive elements found in social media and the
	92	+	targeting of minors through the use of algorithms by social me dia
	93	+	platforms. This Legislature's intent is not to censor content found
94	94		on social media platforms, but rather to prevent access by persons
95	95		who have not yet reached an age to handle the negative aspects of
96	96		social media. Much like our historical commitment to curbing the
97	97		use of addictive substances and behaviors among minors, such as laws
98	98		regulating the use of intoxicants and gambling, this Legislature now
99	99		takes proactive measures to address the emerging challenges posed by
100	100		social media platforms.

104	104		A. Nothing in this act shall be construed to limit the content
105	105		found on social media platforms or prohibit minors from posting
106	106		content on other platforms, digital or otherwise, that they legally
