Lt. Governor Burt Jones and Senate Majority Caucus Chair Jason Anavitarte (R-Dallas), announced that legislation combating cyberbullying and teenage social media use will be a priority in 2024.
This legislation would enact stricter age verification standards by social media companies, update existing rules in schools that monitor bullying, and require social media companies to remove features that are found to be addictive to children.
Anivitarte said he thinks this is a key step in improving the mental health of Georgia’s children.
