Social Media NUDGE Act

Nudging Users to Drive Good Experiences on Social Media Act or the Social Media NUDGE Act

This bill requires social media platforms that have more than 20 million monthly active users to implement certain content-agnostic interventions to address social media addiction and the amplification or prioritization of certain content.

First, the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine must conduct a study to identify reasonable content-agnostic interventions such as limits on account creation and content sharing. Second, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) must issue regulations requiring social media platforms to implement appropriate interventions identified by the study.

The bill provides for enforcement of the requirements of this bill by the FTC.
