The bill would require the surgeon general to design a warning label system enforced by the Federal Trade Commission .

The label would appear as a pop-up box warning users about the potential mental health risks of using social media.

Fetterman cosponsored the Eyes on the Board Act with Sen. Ted Cruz ( R. , Texas ), a bill that would limit social media access in schools.

The bill has not progressed and has not been passed.

Both said they would welcome more bipartisan opportunities in the U.S ..
