#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. ā¤ļøš§
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.
