Stop the Scroll Act

S 1885, the Stop the Scroll Act, requires major social media platforms and anonymous content-sharing apps (defined as "covered platforms") to display clear mental health warning labels each time a U.S. user accesses the service. The labels must warn users about potential mental health risks linked to social media use and provide access to resources like the 988 Suicide Lifeline. Platforms must display the label prominently upon entry, redisplay it hourly after user acknowledgment, and cannot hide it in terms of service or allow disabling. This law directly affects all covered platform providers operating in the U.S., mandating specific disclosure practices to inform users about health risks before engagement.
