What New York SAFE for Kids Act (S.7694-A 2023-24) - Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation requires
The New York Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act, S.7694-A in the 2023-24 legislative session, adds Article 45 (Sections 1500-1508) to the New York General Business Law. The Act defines an addictive feed as a portion of a website or app where multiple pieces of media generated or shared by users are recommended selected or prioritized for display to a user based in whole or in part on information associated with the user or the user's device, with carve-outs for chronological feeds user-requested content and direct messages. A covered minor is a user the operator has actual knowledge is under 18 in New York; a covered operator is an entity operating an addictive social media platform where addictive feeds constitute a significant part of the services provided. Section 1501 prohibits operators from providing addictive feeds to covered minors unless they either (A) use commercially reasonable and technically feasible methods to determine that the covered user is not a covered minor or (B) obtain verifiable parental consent. Section 1502 prohibits sending notifications about addictive feeds to minors between midnight and 6 a.m. Eastern without parental consent. Enforcement is by the New York Attorney General with civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation plus injunctive relief restitution and disgorgement of profits.
