Requires a social media platform with more than 100,000 active Colorado users to give users under 18 information on how social media affects the developing brain and youth mental and physical health, and to display a notification every 30 minutes once a minor has spent one hour on the platform in a 24 hour period or is using it between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Signed June 6, 2024, with the platform requirement set for January 1, 2026, but preliminarily enjoined before that date.

- Posture
- Senior Judge William J. Martinez granted NetChoice a preliminary injunction on November 6, 2025, finding the notification requirement likely compels speech in violation of the First Amendment and fails strict scrutiny. The injunction blocked the platform requirement before its January 1, 2026 start date.
