Surgeon General Calls for Warning Labels on Social Media Platforms · 3

I think of social media companies as the Big Tobacco of the 21st c., making insane profits poisoning the world. I don't know if a warning does much, or is even enforceable, but at least it's an acknowledgement that the status quo is not sustainable.

Here be dragons

Edit: Knowing you as I do, I'm 99% sure that if it were ever proven beyond doubt that Hubski actively harmed children in unfathomable numbers, your reaction wouldn't be "Oh shit, we have to cover this up ASAP!"

I think of the FDA as biggest culprit re poisoning our country. The way we eat/consume pharmaceutical products in this country is insane. The FDA is supposed to be safeguarding us. Also, I like the, "Here be dragons," warning. Perfect.
