Where is the warning on cars? On guns? These are the leading causes of death for children, not to mention humanity and the planet more generally, but we'll never see any warnings.

This attack on apps is pathetic political nonsense based on pseudo-science. There's no clear legal definition for "social media app". What about chatting on Steam? Does that need a warning? They just want to label certain apps as "bad" so they can monitor and control. It's a continuation of the attack on TikTok. Fascism is imperialism at home.
