Concerns about children's mental health are prompting lawmakers to reexamine social media rules. Features that keep users engaged, such as certain design elements and notifications, may face limits or bans. A recent hearing highlighted bipartisan worries about the impact of social media on young people.

Lawmakers plan to revisit this issue when they return in January. They will consider potential restrictions on features like those that encourage endless browsing or manipulate user experience.

Further details about the proposed regulations and the hearing are available from the source, along with information about internal documents from major technology companies becoming public.
