Colorado Urges Appeals Court To Reinstate Social Media Warning Labels
Summary
Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser asked the 10th Circuit to lift a lower-court injunction and reinstate the Healthier Social Media Use by Youth Act, which would force platforms to show minors research-backed information or recurring pop-up warnings. The law would require warnings every 30 minutes for minors who use covered platforms more than one hour a day or between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. NetChoice, representing major tech platforms such as Google, Meta and Snap, successfully obtained a preliminary injunction in district court arguing the statute compels speech and violates the First Amendment. Colorado argues the law is a consumer-protection measure similar to health warnings for tobacco and says it responds to evidence about social media harms to youth; NetChoice is expected to file a response with the appeals court next month.
