Warning labels are seen as ubiquitous nowadays, leading to people not taking them seriously due to their constant presence on various products. These labels serve as a shield for companies from legal repercussions rather than effectively informing consumers. Dr. Murthy emphasized that while warning labels are not enough to enhance social media safety, legislative actions are vital. Recommendations include shielding young people from online harm, restricting data collection from children, and regulating features like push notifications that can lead to overuse of social media. Moreover, sharing data on health effects with independent scientists is suggested to address privacy concerns and potential government control.
The Biden Campaign spends millions on ads attacking Trump, the U.S. Surgeon General calls for warning labels on social media, and a Texas doctor trying to protect children is charged by the Biden DOJ. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
