Concerns are growing among attorneys and experts over a pair of proposed bills in the New York City Council that aim to restrict children's social media usage to just one hour per day. The bills, which have sparked heated debate, would require social media companies to implement robust age verification systems and limit minors' screen time to 60 minutes or less per day. Critics argue that the measures could be overly restrictive, potentially infringing on children's rights to free speech and expression, as well as their ability to access information and connect with others online. As the bills make their way through the legislative process, attorneys and advocates are weighing in with concerns about the potential impact on young people's digital lives.
