US surgeon general issues advisory on ‘profound’ risks of child social media use

[BidenPresident]

Social media use by children and teenagers can pose a “profound risk of harm” to their mental health and wellbeing, the US surgeon general is warning.

In a new advisory released on Tuesday, Dr Vivek Murthy calls on tech companies, policymakers and parents to take “immediate action to protect kids now”. He says that in the absence of robust independent research it is impossible to know whether social media is safe for children and adolescents.

Frankly, British Petroleum, ii don't understand this at all.

Adult or child, how stupid would one have to be
to not realize that all social media are too absurd
to be taken the least bit seriously?

The internet is good for things like researching who played left tackle on the 1968 Jets
or ordering dog shampoo from Chewy.

Other than that, it's complete shit, and anybody with a three digit IQ should be able to see that pretty easily.

You have to go to a major university and study for many years to become that dense and stupid. You can't achieve that level of stupid naturally, it has to be cultivated by the finest pseudo-intellectuals on the planet in order to become that stupid.

I said that people with a three digit IQ understand that the internet is pure bullshit, TAG.
