Summary

The bill defines “addictive” platforms that use feeds, autoplay, infinite scroll, push alerts or like counts to keep users scrolling. Those platforms could only be offered in Ohio if a warning label, designed by the state’s behavioral‑health director, appears each time a user accesses the service. Violations could be sued by anyone and carry up to $5,000 per breach.
