Social media needs more than a warning label

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress on Monday to pass a law requiring a warning label for adolescents on all social media platforms. It is encouraging to see the Biden administration highlight the problem and seek congressional action, but a warning label is not enough.

Evidence is strong that social media use harms children, and parents need all the tools necessary to protect their families. States, including Florida, Georgia, and Utah, have passed strong new laws to help parents, and Congress should follow their lead.
