Sammy’s Law

Sammy’s Law, introduced as House of Representatives Bill 2657, seeks to require large social media platforms to allow the use of safety software that enables parents to monitor and manage the social media activity of minors under 17. The legislation was introduced in response to concerns about children being targeted for drug sales on platforms like Snapchat, following the death of a 16-year-old who purchased fentanyl-laced pills through the app. Advocates, including Laura Berman and her husband, are pushing for legislative action to protect children from harmful online interactions and drug-related content.
