Like cigarettes, online platforms denounced as products "whose business model depends on addicting kids."

    What do you mean by work? Do they stop everyone from doing stupid things? No. Do they have a measurable effect on behavior? Yes.

      So why don’t we put them on guns?

        We probably don’t want to use the current leader in cause of death for kids as a template for good policy.

          Not at all what I was suggesting. If warning labels save lives why are they not on guns?

            My guess is gun advocates think its a restriction on the 2nd amendment?

              I see.

              Well as long as opinions matter more than data now. Might as well criminalize Tik Tok with one hand and give out free AR-15s to mentally ill 18 year olds with the other.
