South Carolina H4631, the Youth Mental Health Act, mandates social media platforms operating in the state to display public service announcements (PSAs) from the Office of Mental Health. These PSAs aim to educate users, particularly minors, about the risks of social media use, such as anxiety, depression, and cyberbullying. Every ten posts on a user's feed must include one PSA. Social media platforms must submit annual compliance reports to the Office of Mental Health and face penalties for noncompliance. The act takes effect January 1, 2027.
