Sammys Law: A Bipartisan Push for Safer Social Media
Sammys Law, a bipartisan bill, aims to enhance childrens safety on social media. If passed, it would allow parents to use special safety apps to monitor their childrens accounts on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. These apps would alert parents to potential risks such as drug use, suicide, bullying, and more. The bill is named after Sammy Chapman, a sixteen-year-old who died from a fentanyl overdose after connecting with a drug dealer on Snapchat. The law would give parents the final say on using these apps for children aged thirteen and under, with teens over thirteen having some input until they turn seventeen. The apps would also protect privacy by limiting data sharing to court orders or emergencies. The bill is currently awaiting a House vote before moving to the Senate.
