It appears in section 1 of the PDF of the bill where it is explaining the legislative intent.

  The summary and justification sections help set the intent of the bill, but they don't define the law itself. Those uses are: Section two of this bill adds a new Article 45-A to General Business Law to require addictive social media platforms which feature predatory features such as algorithmic feeds, push notifications, autoplay, infi- nite scroll, and/or like counts as a significant part of the provision of their service to post warning labels for all users upon access to the platform. The bill features a series of specific exemptions for certain types of notifications that fall beyond the scope of the bill (i.e. those explicitly requested by a user or which are deployed for civic communication). More broadly, the bill also exempts any feature which is determined by the Attorney General via regulation to be offered for a valid purpose unrelated to prolonging use of the addictive social media platform. ... ... Additionally, as this bill covers only social media platforms that deploy addictive features such as algorithmic feeds, push notifications, autoplay, infinite scroll, and like counts, any platform not wishing to display a warning label could simply limit their use of these features. The text of the law, however, does not define "algorithmic feed" (sorting by date post could be considered "an algorithm" by some). "[S]uch as algorithmic feeds" in the description and justification remains undefined in the text of the bill itself.
