Midday News: AG James Proposes Age Verification for Social Media, MTA Expands Bus Lane Camera Enforcement, and City Doubles Incentives to Fill Empty Apartments

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

New York Attorney General Letitia James is proposing new regulations that would require social media users to prove their age with photo or video verification. It's part of an effort to curb the effect of addictive feeds on minors. Meanwhile, the MTA is expanding its bus lane camera program in Queens and the Bronx to keep lanes clear and improve service. Plus, despite Mayor Adams’ cash incentives, landlords have not reopened any warehoused rent-stabilized apartments. WNYC’s David Brand explains why the city is now doubling the payout in hopes of bringing units back on the market. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
