(Washington D.C.) U.S. Senators John Fetterman (D-PA) and Katie Britt’s (R-AL) Stop the Scroll Act passed the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee today in Washington D.C. by voice vote. The bipartisan bill would create a mental health warning label requirement for users under the age of 18 on social media platforms, ensuring that minors are aware of the potential mental health risks posed by social media usage and are provided access to mental health resources.
