Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

S. Res. 330 is a nonbinding Senate resolution that designates June 23, 2025, as “Social Media Harms Victim Remembrance Day.” The bill acknowledges the major role of the internet and social media in modern life, but highlights the harms that can accompany online platforms—especially for youths—such as cyberbullying, exposure to sex trafficking, exploitation, and links to drug overdoses and self-harm. It states a purpose to honor victims and survivors, raise awareness about social media harms, and advocate for measures to mitigate these harms. The resolution urges observation of the day and calls on government agencies, nonprofits, and stakeholders to collaborate on initiatives like digital literacy and online safety, and to support victims’ rights. It also asks that enrolled copies be transmitted to the President, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission to promote awareness and encourage action. Note: As a resolution, this is a symbolic, nonbinding measure that expresses the Senate’s recognition and intent to promote awareness and advocacy, rather than creating new laws or mandatory programs or funding.
