OREANDA-NEWS The US Congress will consider a bill that aims to combat addiction to social networks.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill designed to protect Americans from social media exposure. It involves the prohibition of certain functions that can be addictive. The author of the initiative referred to them the automatic playback of videos on YouTube and long news feeds on social networks Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat.
