State Attorneys General Rally Behind Mandatory Warning Labels on Social Media Platforms

Forty-two state attorneys general have urged Congress to mandate warning labels on social media platforms to alert users, especially children, of potential risks associated with their use. This move aligns with a proposal from Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who in a June op-ed advocated for tobacco-style warning labels on social media platforms to inform users about mental health risks and other potential harms. The state AGs’ endorsement amplifies the federal initiative and highlights growing concerns over the impact of social media on younger users. For more details, see The Washington Post.
