U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has called for warning labels on social media platforms to address the youth mental health crisis, likening these warnings to those found on tobacco and alcohol products. Sen. Katie Britt supports this initiative, co-sponsoring the Kids Off Social Media Act to restrict social media usage for children under 13 and limit addictive algorithms for teens. Colorado has already implemented similar measures, requiring pop-up notifications about the mental health impacts for young users. Studies indicate that excessive social media use is linked to increased mental health issues among adolescents, including depression and anxiety. Clinical psychologists emphasize that social media detracts from beneficial activities like sleep, physical activity, and face-to-face interactions. Tragic incidents, such as the death of a young woman while recording a social media video, underscore the urgent need for these protective measures.
