More Social Media Safeguards for Minors

2025 - Connecticut Senate

Conservatives Support

Description

This bill includes numerous proposals for social media safeguards. The most important of which will prohibit adults from sending unsolicited communication to minors. The bill contains other provisions which CPAC does not support, such as a requirement for social media platforms to have “safety centers” and “cyberbullying policies”. However, CPAC’s concerns about these “cyberbullying policies” are outweighed by the importance of preventing adults from sending unsolicited messages to minors, so CPAC supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 3, 2025 by a vote of 33-2 and the bill later became law.
