 US Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy calls lawmakers to add warning labels to social media, similar to cigarette packs, warning of mental health issues to kids:
-requires congressional action
-tobacco studies show, that warning label increases awareness & change behavior
-calls for social media companies to share all their data on health effects with independent scientists and the public, which they currently don't do, and allow independent safety audits.

Somebody wasn't paid yet. That's nice.
