Social media; categorizing social media platforms as addictive. Effective date.
SB 839 defines "social media platform" in Oklahoma law and declares such platforms "addictive and dangerous to mental health, especially that of minors." The bill does not create new regulations, restrictions, or enforcement mechanisms - only establishes this declarative statement for legal reference. It directly affects how social media platforms are categorized in Oklahoma statutes but imposes no concrete policy changes or requirements on platforms, users, or the state. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, as a standalone definition with no operational provisions.
