Saying Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok are causing significant mental health harms for adolescents, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is calling for public health warning labels on social media sites and apps, not unlike the warnings placed on packs of cigarettes.
Today we have another high-ranking federal official calling for action on social media's effect on teens and kids, as the US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared Monday that social media sites should have public health warnings, just like packs of cigarettes have.
The warning labels are only one of Murthy's proposals for making social media safer for kids. He's also calling for independent safety audits that are made public, and congressional legislation to prevent harassment and exploitation on the platforms.
