S. 3608 · 117th Congress
Social Media NUDGE Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Nudging Users to Drive Good Experiences on Social Media Act or the Social Media NUDGE Act
This bill requires social media platforms that have more than 20 million monthly active users to implement certain content-agnostic interventions to address social media addiction and the amplification or prioritization of certain content.
First, the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine must conduct a study to identify reasonable content-agnostic interventions such as limits on account creation and content sharing. Second, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) must issue regulations requiring social media platforms to implement appropriate interventions identified by the study.
The bill provides for enforcement of the requirements of this bill by the FTC.
