Large social media platforms would report yearly to the FTC on their free mental health public service ads.
40-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
S 414 requires large social media platforms to report yearly to the Federal Trade Commission on free mental health public service ads they run, including how many ads exist, their dollar value, and how many promote local or free care options. The FTC would compile this into a public report for Congress. The requirement expires after five years unless renewed.
Who does it affect?
Applies to platforms with over 100 million monthly users that earn ad revenue and mainly host user-generated content, such as major social media sites. The public is indirectly affected through increased transparency about mental health resources.
Why does it matter?
The bill creates new reporting obligations for large platforms but does not require them to run more mental health ads or change existing privacy laws.
