U.S. Surgeon General Proposes Social Media Warning Labels to Combat Teen Mental Health Issues
News summary

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has proposed requiring warning labels on social media platforms to address rising mental health issues among teenagers, similar to those on tobacco and alcohol products. He highlights that teenagers who spend over three hours daily on social media are at higher risk for anxiety and depression. The move is supported by advocates like Nicole Hockley, who emphasize the vulnerability of youths to harmful content, including the marketing of guns. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb and other experts stress the importance of parental involvement in managing children's social media use. Meanwhile, initiatives in places like Nagpur focus on broader internet safety and community involvement to combat related issues such as substance abuse.
