Bill overview
This bill creates a special legislative commission to investigate how social media platforms use techniques like ‘IVRs’ (in-app ratings) and other strategies to influence users. The commission, comprised of members of the General Court, will study the potential impacts of these practices on individuals, particularly concerning data privacy and user behavior. The goal is to understand the extent and effects of these strategies and make recommendations for potential regulation. Ultimately, the commission’s findings will inform future policy decisions related to social media.
