Regardless of the scientific consensus, what’s the point? It sounds like all this will achieve is another annoying pop-up similar to the cookie popups that we get now due to the European law. It’s just a way to wave your hands and claim to be doing something without actually addressing any of the problems of social media.

i think it is important for people to be informed. like with the cookie banner, you might always press “accept all”, but i do not and i like having the choice to do so.

The point of the cookie button is giving people a choice. There’s no choice here.

you have the choice not to use the app. and for some, the “this is addictive” banner will influence their choice of whether they want to use the app or not.
