In movies from the 1950s, the promotion of smoking was so blatant that how prevalent it was is shocking now to the senses. A journey had to happen to say it was dangerous and that had to be proven in court and so on. I think we need regular warnings on social media to say this is an issue for mental health but getting to that place, whether through litigation or otherwise, has to happen in order to arrive at a place that proves that causal link that Zuckerberg attempted to deny. Obviously, his PR people texted him to say it would be a good step for him to turn around and apologise to the public after so many have died, but we need a health warning on all these platforms that comes up as regularly as their adverts do, and they should be obliged to do that.
