For users under 18, the platform would have to set privacy restrictions to the most private level available. And the bill would ban certain “addictive” features from being used in a minor’s social media feed. That includes “infinite scrolling; a profile-based feed; push notifications; autoplay video,” the bill says.

Can we get features designed to be addictive banned, generally? Regular users need to be gained by having a good quality product, not by exploiting brain chemistry.

I don’t like any of these.

I’ve definitely looked at this, but never realized I there was a .ics option! Thank you very much; that’s super helpful!

Unfortunately, budgets exist. The current govenment structure makes that unavoidable, and changing that fact is not easy or immediate.

Considering the fact that Madison just had to pass a budget referendum to avoid making cuts to services, this seems like a good way to fill that gap. It may also incentivize bus and bike travel, which would be beneficial to Metro and traffic patterns.
