This resolution designates June 23, 2026, as 'Social Media Harms Victim Remembrance Day,' a Senate-recognized day to honor people who have been injured or killed due to experiences on social media platforms. The Senate cites data showing that over 90 percent of teenagers use social media, and that it has been linked to cyberbullying, harassment, drug overdose deaths, self-harm, and suicide among young people. The resolution urges individuals, communities, and social media companies to mark the day with remembrance ceremonies and advocacy events, and calls on government agencies and nonprofits to develop initiatives around online safety and digital literacy. It asks the Secretary of the Senate to send copies to the President, the HHS Secretary, and the FTC Chair to encourage steps to address social media-related harms. The resolution carries no legal mandates or funding.
