HB 6479 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING MINORS AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

HB 6479 prohibits social media platforms from using algorithms that target individuals under 17 years old (such as by tracking age or phone number) and bans continuous feeds on accounts for users under 17. The bill directly affects minors under 17 and social media companies operating in the state. Key provisions require platforms to disable algorithmic targeting and continuous feed features for this age group. The law aims to limit exposure to potentially harmful content or addictive design features for young users.
