Global Warning Label Day intentionally coincides with Father’s Day in many countries, sending a powerful message to Big Tech executives—many of whom are parents themselves—that the time for accountability is now.
The campaign is grounded in mounting global research showing social media’s link to depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide among youth. Parents, educators, advocates, and young people are unified in their demand for action: social media must include clear, visible mental health warnings, just as is required for tobacco and alcohol.
On Global Warning Label Day, campaign partners and supporters will post youth-designed warning labels, PSAs, and messages of support across social media using the hashtag #GlobalWarningLabelDay and tagging the campaign. The content will be amplified across www.keepitdigitallysafe.org and partner channels.
“As one of the partners in the KiDS Campaign, we see it clearly: the world’s children are being harmed, injured, and even dying because of social media." said Erich Mische, CEO of SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education), one of the KiDS Campaign partner organizaitons, "This is a public health emergency. We need warning labels on every continent, in every language, for every child. The time to act is now.”
The KiDS Campaign is also actively promoting its global KiDS Warning Label Contest, inviting youth worldwide to submit ideas for social media warning labels and public service messages. The contest is open through September 30 and offers $5,000, $3,000, and $2,000 educational scholarships for the top entries. More details and a list of partners can be found at www.keepitdigitallysafe.org/partners
