In one paragraph

Nebraska's LB 504 (2025), the Age-Appropriate Online Design Code Act, applies to covered online services that know a user is a minor. Among the tools a service must give each covered minor, it must let the minor control personalized recommendation systems, defined as fully or partially automated systems that suggest, promote or rank content based on users' personal data, by opting in to a chronological feed or preventing categories of content from being recommended. It also requires tools to limit engagement-boosting design features such as infinite scroll and notifications, and to limit in-game purchases. Approved May 30, 2025; operative January 1, 2026.
