Rep. Balint, Becca [D-VT-At Large]

HR 9948

Rep. Becca Balint's Addictive Design Act of 2026 targets social media platforms and apps that use engagement-maximizing features like infinite scroll, autoplay, and algorithmic feeds designed to hook users, especially minors. It would restrict these 'addictive' design patterns and likely give the FTC enforcement authority, following a growing wave of state laws like California's and New York's.
