Senate Bill No. 839 aims to address the impact of social media on mental health by defining social media platforms and categorizing them as addictive. The bill introduces a new section to the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 205 of Title 75A, which defines a social media platform as a website or internet medium that allows users to register, create accounts, and generate content that can be shared and viewed by others. The bill emphasizes that these platforms primarily facilitate user interaction with content created by other users.

Furthermore, the bill asserts that social media platforms are considered addictive and pose dangers to mental health, particularly for minors. The legislation is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage through the Committee on Technology and Telecommunications.
