I dislike linking to the NYT, but it seems to be the original source.

I'm kinda conflicted on this. I doubt it'll really do anything, but if it helps head off crappy laws like SOPA then it'd be good.

tbh more social media should be like beehaw, anyway

A surgeon general’s warning label, which requires congressional action, would regularly remind parents and adolescents that social media has not been proved safe.

So they're going to put a warning on anything that hasn't been "proved safe"? These people are clowns.

It's such a milquetoast warning, mostly because the science just isn't there yet. And by the time it is, any damage will be done.

So it's not entirely clear what the hell we should do, but it's probably not a knee jerk reaction.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
