Stop the Scroll Act

This bill would require social media platforms and anonymous content sharing apps to show a mental health warning label each time a user in the United States opens them. The label would stay until the user leaves or acknowledges the risk and chooses to continue, and it would reappear after each hour of continuous use. The label must warn of possible negative mental health effects and give access to federal resources, including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. The Federal Trade Commission, with the Surgeon General's agreement, would write the label rules within 180 days and enforce the law, and state attorneys general could also sue platforms for violations. The law would take effect one year after enactment.
