Limits how apps and websites can use addictive design features.
The problem
Apps and websites use design tricks to keep people using them longer. This may harm mental health, especially for young people and children.
The proposal
The bill would restrict companies from using features like infinite scrolling, autoplay, and notifications designed to be addictive without user consent.
The impact
Tech companies and social media platforms would need to change how they design products. Users, especially teens, could have more control over addictive features.
Reducing addictive design could decrease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. This is especially helpful for teenagers whose brains are still developing and more vulnerable to addictive patterns.
Users would have clearer choices about which features they allow. Companies would need to ask permission before using design tricks to keep people scrolling.
Smaller apps and websites wouldn't compete by being the most addictive. This could help new companies compete on quality instead of manipulation.
Clear rules would help all companies understand what is and isn't allowed. This creates fairness across the tech industry.
It may be difficult to decide which features are truly addictive versus normal design. This could lead to confusion and legal disputes about what is allowed.
Social media and free services rely on keeping users engaged. Restrictions could reduce company profits and lead to job losses in tech.
Checking if companies follow the law would be expensive and complicated. International companies might ignore U.S. rules or move operations elsewhere.
Companies might be less willing to try new features if they worry about breaking rules. This could slow down progress in app and website design.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
