New York to require social media platforms to display mental health labels

Dec 28, 2025

Albany [New York], December 28: The state of New York will require social media platforms with infinite scrolling, autoplay and algorithmic feeds to display labels about their potential harm to young users' mental health, Governor Kathy Hochul has announced.
Hochul on Friday signed a bill that mandates the warning against "addictive" features into law. "Keeping New Yorkers safe has been my top priority since taking office, and that includes protecting our kids from the potential harms of social media features that encourage excessive use," Hochul said.
Spokespeople for TikTok, Snap, Meta and Alphabet have not yet issued statements reacting to the new law. (Agencies)
