The Connecticut state senate has passed an omnibus-ish bill that includes social media regulations like a mandatory warning label (hella unconstitutional) and various privacy-invading demands. I honestly don't know whether it would apply to fedi instances or not. See section 39 here:

The Connecticut senate did a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V on House Bill 5037, which was backed by the governor and which the state attorney general seems to have maaaaybe lied in support of. https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/post/3mgxmyst7j227
