Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg and Assemblymember Nily Rozic through Legislations, Address Children Social Media Usage

Idea Category: Broadband, Mental Health, Public Safety

VA Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg, a former high school teacher, backed a bipartisan bill to require default screen-time limits for children after witnessing how excessive social media use undermines students’ academic performance and social development. In New York, Assemblymember Nily Rozic similarly framed her recently enacted  legislation requiring warning labels on social media apps as a public health measure. She argues families deserve clear, research-based information about how addictive platform features harm young people’s mental health.
