   Me in the Daily Beast pointing out that the Surgeon General seems to be ignoring basically all of the evidence (including some in his own report) in pushing for warnings on social media. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-surgeon-general-is-wrong-social-media-doesnt-need-warning-labels?ref=author

     @mmasnick I'm actually one of the people who things that social media *should* come with a warning.

     A warning against blindly trusting everything you read, especially if its something you want to hear and especially if it's trying to tell you that actions have no consequences.

     You might confuse this warning with a simple reminder to "always think critically", but warning...reminder...potato...potato...

     Is there really a difference that matters?
