I think there should be warning/attention labels for everybody, not just adolescents. I am not blatantly against social media use per se. But the way the social media nowadays are structured are to intentionally be as addictive as possible (they call it "engagement"). It will not do much, but maybe it can help in making this more visible, and facilitate more discussion/awareness on that. I am only afraid that companies would implement it similar to cookies banners, trying to make them as annoying to users as possible
It would be interesting if people share browser addons and tricked that help with making such platforms more user friendly and centered. For me, the 2 main ones:
1. unfollowing everybody in facebook apart from 3-4 groups I want to receive updates/events from (with the rest still friends/liked etc but not following them, so I have to actively go to their profiles to get updates if I want).
2. Unhook, an addon for youtube. This shit has saved me.
