Overview
New Jersey Assembly Bill 2739 aims to protect children from potentially harmful content related to eating disorders on social media platforms. The bill prohibits platforms from using design features, algorithms, or practices that could encourage the development of these disorders, particularly the promotion of diet products. Platforms would need to implement audits and take corrective action if issues are identified, or they must meet certain revenue thresholds to be exempt from liability. The bill also clarifies that platforms are not responsible for user-generated content or content created by third parties.
