Reading GOP Sen. Josh Hawley's bill banning 'addictive' features on social media.
It would prohibit:
1. Infinite scroll
2. Loading of additional content w/o being expressly requested
3. Autoplay of video/audio
4. Badges/awards linked to engagement

Hawley's bill also requires social media:
1) allow users to set a time limit that blocks access to platform if limit reached.
2) tracks how much time each user has been on the platform.
3) Displays pop-up to users every 30 min to show how they've used the platform that day

The bill also requires a report every three years on "the processes through which social media companies and other internet companies, by exploiting human psychology and brain physiology, interfere with free choices of individuals on the internet."
Kind of curious what @SenTedCruz, a known Twitter and Candy Crush fanatic, has to say about his colleague's legislation
