June 17, 2024, 11:53 pmWashington, United States—Social media platforms should feature tobacco-style health warnings for adolescents, a top US government health official said Monday.
“It is time to require a surgeon general’s warning label on social media platforms, stating that social media is associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents,” he wrote. “A surgeon general’s warning label, which requires congressional action, would regularly remind parents and adolescents that social media has not been proved safe,” he wrote.Murthy pointed to previous actions by lawmakers to address high vehicle-related deaths, including mandates requiring seatbelts, airbags and crash testing to make cars safer.
In 2023, Murthy issued a health advisory warning that social media presents a “profound risk” to children and advising that 13 is too young to join apps.
