#BLPnews Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has unveiled a groundbreaking proposal
the Social Media Amusement & Responsibility Tax (SMART) that would require major platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube to pay $0.50 per Chicago user each month.
The tax could bring in $31 million annually, with funds dedicated to expanding free mental health clinics and crisis response teams throughout the city. โค๏ธ๐ง
The plan, still awaiting City Council approval, has sparked debate about tech accountability, public health priorities, and the role of social media in community well-being.
