New York law forces “addictive” social media like TikTok & Instagram to show mental health warnings

Okay, so New York’s Governor Hochul just announced something that’s going to affect how I use apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels. Basically, they’re looking closely at features like endless scrolling, videos automatically playing, and those feeds that are decided by algorithms – you know, the stuff that keeps you glued to your phone. This new thing applies to any platform operating in New York state, so it’s a pretty big deal for anyone who uses those apps here.
