Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called for warning labels on social media platforms due to mental health harms for adolescents, comparing it to tobacco warning labels for behavior change.
He pointed out that spending excessive time on social media can double the risk of anxiety and depression among adolescents, advocating for phone-free zones in schools and at home.
Murthy's proposal received support from online safety advocates, likening social media to addictive products like tobacco and emphasizing the importance of warning labels to protect children.
