BOSTON — Facebook, Instagram and other social media companies would be required to limit social media activity for teens and deactivate “addictive” features for younger users, under legislation unveiled by Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday.
The proposal, which Healey touted in her State of the Commonwealth speech in January, would require social media companies to turn off location tracking features, disable notifications and restrict platform access overnight and during school hours, limiting teens use to two hours per day. For users ages 15 or younger, only a parent or guardian can modify the default settings, under the proposal.
