A critical shift is occurring in Washington regarding social media regulation, with a growing bipartisan consensus on the need to protect kids from algorithmic addiction. Proposals aim to prevent platforms from collecting personal data on users under 18, fundamentally altering how companies like TikTok and Instagram operate. The urgency to address these issues is palpable, as lawmakers express concern that more complex AI regulations may overshadow simpler, necessary reforms for social media.
