TELL LAWMAKERS: PROTECT WA KIDS ONLINE - SUPPORT SB 5708/HB 1834

Working closely with the Washington State Attorney General, Senator Noel Frame, and Representative Lisa Callan, we are excited to announce that SB 5708/HB 1834 will be reintroduced in the 2026 legislative session! 

Research shows that excessive engagement with addictive online platforms, like social media, can increase the risk of behavioral health issues. Yet these platforms use data tracking and intentional design principles to keep young people online for as long as possible. 

SB 5708/HB 1834 will require companies that operate addictive online platforms in our state to create a less harmful experience for kids by:  

• Stopping platforms serving targeted addictive feeds to minors. 

• Stopping platforms from sending push notifications during school and sleep hours—they interrupt learning, harm sleep, and drive compulsive checking.  

• Ensuring all users have access to settings that promote privacy and healthy relationships with online content.
