• Mass. House passes bill to protect children from social media, prohibit cell phones in schools (advocatenews.net) — A major statewide bill moving through Beacon Hill could soon change how Winthrop students use phones and social media, with Rep. Jeffrey Rosario Turco of Winthrop backing the effort. The measure would ban personal cell phone use during the school day, require districts to teach responsible social media use, and force platforms to verify ages and limit access for younger teens.
