Banning Smartphone use in schools – will this upcoming generation move on to the return of the flip phone? Gov. Kathy Hochul is considering a ban on smartphones in New York schools, reports Chalkbeat

Governor Hochul commitment to address the mental health of NYS youth includes a tougher stance on social media.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is focused on advancing two pieces of legislation by the end of the Legislative Session, including the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act to restrict the addictive features of social media, and the New York Child Data Protection Act to restrict the collection of minors’ personal data by online sites.
