Michigan Senate Passes Youth Social Media Restrictions

WASHINGTON, May 8, 2026 – The Michigan Senate passed bills April 29 aimed at restricting social media platforms from using addictive algorithmic feeds for minors and increasing protections around children’s online privacy and artificial intelligence tools. 

Known as the “Kids Over Clicks” package, the bills would create new restrictions on social media recommendation systems, targeted advertising, chatbot access, and children’s data collection practices.

The legislative package includes Senate Bills 757 through 760, and would prohibit social media platforms from providing personal-data-driven feeds to minors unless parental consent is granted.
