On January 1, Virginia teenagers under the age of 16 will be limited to one hour of screen time on each major social media platform.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) signed into law a bipartisan-supported amendment to the state’s Consumer Data Protection Act, which will require social media companies to limit children ages 16 or under to one hour per day per application. It also allows parents to increase or decrease that daily limit for their child.
