New York law requires warning labels on social media platforms with addictive features like infinite scroll and like counts.
New York law mandates that social media platforms displaying addictive features such as infinite scroll, like counts, and push notifications must show warning labels. The commissioner of mental health is tasked with designing these labels, which must be prominently displayed each time a user accesses the platform. The law also prohibits operators from obscuring the labels or displaying them at times or durations other than those prescribed by the commissioner. The commissioner can update the labels annually based on the latest research.
