NY Governor Hochul Proposes Smartphone Ban in Schools

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is advocating for a ban on smartphones in schools, allowing only basic phones that can't access the internet. This proposal is part of her broader campaign against harmful social media algorithms targeting children. While some parents support the initiative, students express concerns about its practicality and potential negative impact on their studies. Hochul's efforts also include legislative measures to restrict the sale of minors' data and require parental controls on social media platforms.
