Assembly Bill 56 proposed by Rebecca Bauer-Kahan seeks to implement weekly warning labels on social media, indicating risks to the mental health of children and adolescents.
Bauer-Kahan argues that platforms exploit human psychology to keep young users engaged, contributing to mental health issues, and emphasizes the urgent need for legislative action.
Critics, like Todd O'Boyle, argue the bill's approach is misguided, comparing it to a broken fire alarm, insisting it lacks solid scientific evidence.
Despite previous efforts to control youth social media addiction, ongoing legal challenges indicate that proposed laws often face substantial scrutiny and opposition from the tech industry.
