NetChoice Sues New York Over Social-Media Warning-Label Law

NetChoice has sued New York to block a law requiring social media platforms with features such as infinite scrolling, autoplay and algorithmic feeds to display state-approved warnings about potential mental-health harms to young users. The law is scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 2027, and calls for warnings when users sign on and periodically after extended use. NetChoice argues the repeated, unavoidable notices compel companies to convey the state’s message and interfere with users’ access to protected speech; New York’s attorney general’s office declined immediate comment. The challenge follows similar litigation elsewhere, including a Colorado law a federal judge blocked on First Amendment grounds.
