内容总结:

纽约州近日通过一项新法案,要求社交媒体平台必须向用户展示成瘾性功能警示标签。该法案由纽约州立法机构于六月通过,并于上周五由州长凯西·霍楚签署生效。

根据新规,任何提供无限滚动、自动播放、点赞计数或算法推荐等功能的社交媒体平台,在纽约州用户首次使用这些被认定为“具有诱导性”的功能时,必须弹出警示标签,并在此后定期重复显示。标签内容将提醒用户,相关功能可能对青少年心理健康产生潜在危害。

霍楚州长在声明中表示:“保护青少年免受社交媒体过度使用带来的危害,是保障纽约州民安全的重要一环。”该法律适用于所有从纽约州境内访问的社交媒体平台。去年,霍楚已签署两项旨在保护儿童免受社交媒体影响的法案。

近年来,社交媒体对青少年心理健康的负面影响日益引发社会关注,多国政府已陆续采取行动。除纽约州外,加利福尼亚州也在推进类似立法。澳大利亚今年率先在全国范围内禁止儿童使用社交媒体,丹麦也将跟进实施相关禁令。

去年,美国卫生局局长曾呼吁社交媒体平台应加注警示标签,并指出有数据表明社交媒体使用与青少年焦虑、抑郁情绪上升存在关联。目前,相关健康风险的多重影响因素仍在持续研究中。

针对此项新规,多家社交媒体平台尚未作出公开回应。

纽约州将强制要求社交媒体平台标注警示标签。当用户使用该州认定的成瘾性功能时,系统将显示相关警告。

纽约州现要求社交媒体平台标注类似香烟包装上的警示标签。该法案于今年六月由纽约州议会通过,并于周五由州长凯西·霍楚签署生效。法案适用于所有包含无限滚动、自动播放、点赞计数或算法推荐功能的平台,警示内容将提醒用户关注社交媒体对青少年心理健康可能造成的危害。

根据规定,当用户首次使用该州认定的诱导性功能时,社交媒体公司必须显示警示标签,并在后续使用过程中定期重复显示。

霍楚州长在声明中表示:"自上任以来,保障纽约民众安全始终是我的首要任务,这包括保护孩子们免受那些诱导过度使用的社交媒体功能带来的潜在伤害。"该法律适用于所有在纽约州境内访问的社交媒体平台。去年霍楚还签署了两项旨在保护儿童免受社交媒体侵害的法案。

随着对社交媒体影响青少年心理健康的担忧日益加剧,政府机构正采取更多行动。加利福尼亚州已提出类似法案,澳大利亚今年成为全球首个禁止儿童使用社交媒体的国家,丹麦也将很快跟进。

去年美国卫生局局长曾呼吁社交媒体应标注警示标签,并指出数据显示社交媒体使用与青少年焦虑抑郁情绪加剧存在关联。社交媒体对儿童心理健康的影响涉及多重因素,相关研究仍在持续进行中。

New York State will require warning labels on social media platforms
The warnings will appear when users interact with a feature the state deems addictive.
The State of New York will now require social media platforms to display warning labels similar to those found on cigarettes. The bill was passed by the New York Legislature in June and signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday. It will apply to any platforms that feature infinite scrolling, auto-play, like counts or algorithmic feeds. The labels will caution those on the platform about potential harm to young users' mental health.
Social media companies will be required to display these warning labels when a user first interacts with any of the features the state considers predatory. The warning will also be displayed periodically after that interaction.
"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," Gov. Hochul said in a statement. The law will apply when any of these platforms are being accessed from New York. Gov. Hochul also signed two bills into law last year aimed at protecting kids from social media.
Concerns over the mental health effects of social media platforms on younger users have been mounting and government bodies have been increasingly taking action. A bill similar to the one in New York has been proposed in California. This year Australia became the first nation to ban social media for children, with Denmark soon to follow.
Last year the US surgeon general said social media should come with warning labels and highlighted data associating social media use with increased anxiety and depression in youth. The risks of social media use on children's mental health are multifactorial and are still being studied.
