This extraordinarily misguided and speech-chilling call to label social media platforms as harmful to adolescents is shameful fear-mongering that lacks scientific evidence and turns the nation’s top physician into a censor.

    If we survived Tipper Gore’s “Explicit Lyrics” warnings on CDs, I think we can survive this.

    Everyone wanted the explicit copy, it made it more desirable.

    But, as a counterpoint, traditional media is just as bad, if not worse, because it is desperately trying to stay relevant by selling fear.

    “If it bleeds it leads” isn’t exactly new. Maybe all media needs these warnings.

    WARNING: This media conglomerate is owned by people who have vested interest in profit over truth.
