It’s the wrong fix to the problem. The correct fix is enforcing an infinite scroll limit (time), after which the app tells you to take a break (for some amount of time).

Get your nanny state out of my free market. I suppose next you will want some kind of warning label on my asbestos filter cigarettes.
Waah waah speech is cigarettes again. Stale. Why don’t you people address the actual constitutional issues (the ones that will get your law struck down hard)
Whatever the right “fix” is, why is a US state involved in deciding how my app presents my speech to you? Under what authority?

You know, I hate to give the oppo any decent ideas, but maybe there’s some allowable way to subsidize apps that use “healthy” patterns rather than attempting to “ban” things!

States get to regulate things that happen within the state. That's how it's always worked. They're like mini-countries.
Not if they violate rights as enumerated in the Bill of Rights and later amendments.
Right because that’s worked so well with gun control too!
It has, I have no problem with my guns!
