A new bill approved by Minnesota’s House Commerce Finance and Policy Committee earlier this year seeks to prevent social media companies from using algorithms to recommend contnet to any users under the age of 18. Unlike other bills, HF3724 doesn’t require parental consent. Instead, it would force social media platforms with more than one million users to identify users 18 simply turn off algorithmic recommendations for them. Companies that fail to abide by those vague rules could be held liable with a civil penalty of $1,000 for each violation.
