People in the United States would see a mental health warning each time they open covered social media platforms. The warning would have to link to federal help, including the 988 crisis line, and it would come back every hour if the person keeps using the platform. Federal and state officials could fine platforms that do not comply.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Stop the Scroll Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Latest action on S. 1885: Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who use social media and anonymous posting platforms in the United States, because they would see a warning when they log on and again during long sessions. It also directly affects the companies that run those platforms, including some nonprofits and some businesses that usually fall outside normal Federal Trade Commission enforcement. Federal regulators and state attorneys general would also get new work because they would write rules, bring cases, and seek penalties.
Why this matters: This bill would put a government-required mental health warning directly into the normal way people use many online platforms. That matters because it could change what users see each time they log in, create new legal risk for platforms, and make mental health warnings a regular part of online life. It also matters because the bill gives both federal and state officials real enforcement power, including penalties. At the same time, the bill does not show how much these warnings would change behavior or mental health outcomes, so the practical effect is still uncertain.
