This bill would require the President to create an interagency task force. The group’s job would be to look at how certain “addictive” design features in digital products affect the mental health of young people and then provide recommendations on those impacts.
Why it matters: This is currently a legislative proposal that does not change any existing laws or regulations. Its practical impact depends entirely on whether Congress passes it and the President signs it into law.
Who it affects
- The White House and various federal agencies that would form the task force
