The Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology (Smart) Act takes aim at techniques and features that are created to encourage and deepen addictive behaviours. According to Hawley, a Missouri Republican, "Too much of the 'innovation' in this space is designed not to create better products, but to capture more attention by using psychological tricks that make it difficult to look away." The bill targets “practices that exploit human psychology or brain physiology to substantially impede freedom of choice”
