Surgeon General Urges Health Warnings on Social Media Apps
Dr. Vivek Murthy calls for congressional action to address the mental health risks posed to adolescents by social media use.
- Murthy's proposal likens social media warnings to those on cigarettes and alcohol.
- Research shows mixed results on the impact of social media on teen mental health.
- Congressional approval is required for the proposed warning labels to be implemented.
- Tech companies may resist the warnings, citing free speech and inconclusive science.
- State and international efforts are also underway to regulate social media usage among minors.
