Committee amends child social media bill
Woodward
BOISE — The Senate State Affairs Committee voted Friday to amend a bill requiring social media companies to receive parental consent and advanced to the Senate floor a bill clamping down on what flags cities and counties in the state can fly. In both cases, the bills have already been passed out of the House and await full consideration by the Senate body.
Named the Stop Addictive Social Media Act, House Bill 542 seeks to add requirements for social media platforms to remove various addictive qualities for accounts belonging to children and obtain parental consent for accounts of children ages 16 years old and younger. Seeking to target the largest companies in the sector, the bill only applies to these platforms when they have generated at least $1 billion in advertising revenue in a single year.
