SB 839 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Social media; categorizing social media platforms as addictive. Effective date.

SB 839 (Oklahoma Senate Bill 839) classifies all social media platforms as "addictive and dangerous to mental health, especially that of minors" under Oklahoma law. The bill defines "social media platform" as any website or internet service enabling user-generated content and interaction, but does not impose new regulations, restrictions, or enforcement mechanisms. It is a declarative classification with no concrete policy changes or requirements for platforms, users, or state agencies. The bill, currently pending in committee, would take effect November 1, 2025, but only establishes this labeling without altering existing laws or creating new obligations.
