Stop the Scroll Act

What it does

Requires covered platform providers to display a mental health warning label each time a user accesses the platform while in the United States, with the label reappearing after each hour of continuous use.
Directs the Federal Trade Commission, with the concurrence of the Surgeon General, to promulgate regulations specifying warning label requirements within 180 days of enactment.
Prohibits platform providers from including the warning label only through hyperlinks or terms of service, obscuring it with extraneous information, or allowing users to disable it.
Treats violations of the Act as unfair or deceptive acts under the Federal Trade Commission Act, empowering the FTC and state attorneys general to enforce penalties.
