    They need to do the same for programs that say/pretend they're news but mislead with false information and are really just for entertainment.

    Haha these campaigns do a make a difference. I remember late 80s the Huge “Couch potato” adds… and when kids laugh and make fun of the adds, they spread but so does the message. Sometimes it starts to sink in. I think it’s a good idea. Just “awareness”

    This about Track & Monitoring people's online presents .... How about dealing with some real issues like ...How Insurance Companies are ALLOWED to play games with lives .. To point where a lot of people end up dead or having to run around with mind numbing pain for years and decades on in( That includes fixable and treatable issues } .. That's more of a Health Crisis than people being upset about what someone said online ... There are no real checks and balances for insurance companies ... How many people die every year because of the insurance companies BS?...probably more than in the whole entire pandemic

    Yep. Even tobacco companies know that huh don’t kill your customers. Social media should not be given to children

    I've been working in tech for over a decade. And I kid you not, many of my coworkers who have families DO NOT let the their kids use social media or have a smartphone until they are in their teens.

    So does that mean surgeon general message will be attached to all Democrat political ads now. It's about time to address their mental health issues.

      They did, they made people more aware that cigarettes led to all those health problems.
      And overall smoking in the US has gone down over the years.

    There has always been a warning on cell phones!!! People just choose to ignore it. It is printed on the leaflets that comes with your phone that explains how to quick start the phone. I worked for a cellphone company for many years. It's there, if you look at it!! 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

      No one looks. I feel your pain. The Bible also gives us the best wisdom to live happy and in peace with everyone but less than 1% read the Bible and care about God. This wicked system will very soon come to its end.

    Why are there not health warnings on Casinos then? Just targeting this decades scapegoat, Tiktok is the new heavy metal music or GTA. Something for old people to blame the problems caused by society on.

      This is for ALL social media not just Tictok.
      Why don't they put it on casinos? Money but also no one needs to or has to go to a casino, in many cases you MUST, you need to use social media (police, schools, local businesses use social media instead of other sites now).

      I always saw gambling anonymous flyers and help lines advertised within casinos. Stopped going years ago though, so things could have changed.

      Well you have to be a certain age to gamble and drink

      ​@@zangmastermost of these platforms have age minimums as well, but its up to parents to enforce it since kids don't go to the tik tok store to install it.
