NetChoice v. Weiser is the lawsuit against HB 23-1136 of Colorado which requires covered social media to display a warning to all users under 18 if they have spent more than an hour on the platform in a 24 hour period of time or are online between 10 pm to 6 am to tell them about the mental health effects that too much social media can have on them. It is the first lawsuit against warning labels for social media.[1][2]
Legal History
On August 14, 2025, the social media trade association NetChoice sued the Attorney General of Colorado Phil Weiser to stop his enforcement of HB 24-1136 arguing that requiring warning labels on social media is a form of compelled speech.[3][4] Later on, October 16, 2025, a hearing was held on the Preliminary Injunction by NetChoice motion to block the enforcement of the law.[5]
