Surgeon General pushes social media warning labels

The U-S Surgeon General wants warning labels on social media platforms. In a New York Times opinion piece, Dr. Vivek Murthy writes that social media is a contributing factor in the mental health crisis among young people. And he says it’s “time to require a surgeon general’s warning label on social media platforms,” similar to labels on cigarette packages. Murthy says those warnings have changed tobacco behavior and that adding labels to social media platforms would be a step in the right direction.
