    warn children about social media’s documented health risks, which range from increased anxiety to body dysmorphia to sleep interruption.

    No different than TV shows or magazine ads that do these same things. But there’s no warnings there.

      What TV shows you watching that aren’t started by “viewer discretion is advised”? You keeping it to the Disney channel only?
