About this movement

In May 2023, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an unprecedented advisory declaring social media a 'profound risk of harm' to children's mental health, followed by a 2024 call for tobacco-style warning labels on social media platforms. The advisory recommends delaying social media, limiting usage, and requiring industry accountability. With Phosra, families can turn the Surgeon General's recommendations into enforceable platform rules — not just suggestions, but real protections.
