Summary

The bill creates new state statutes that identify "addictive features"—such as infinite scrolling, autoplay videos, and push notifications—and labels certain AI companion and social‑media services as "covered platforms" based on user size or revenue. It sets usage thresholds (25 and 50 hours in six months) that trigger platform obligations, and it applies to any Kentucky resident with an account on those platforms, especially minors. The goal is to curb design practices that encourage excessive use and protect personal data.
