Lawmakers in the most populous state in the country have passed a bill that would require public health warning labels on popular social media apps when kids are using them following growing concerns about the impacts of social media on youth mental health.
California’s bill, AB 56, requires platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram to show minor users a text from a 2023 surgeon general report that found social media “can have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents.”
