Minnesota has a new law that, beginning a year from now, will require that social media companies warn users of the potential negative mental health effects of social media use each time a user accesses a social media platform. The warning label will need to include specific content, including information about mental health resources (like the national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline). The law also specifically prohibits including “extraneous information” in the warning label. It must be on-screen (not in a company’s website terms) and remain on screen until the user either acknowledges and agrees to it, or leaves the site.
