This is a big question, no good answer either way. But still any adult should have known that smoke was bad for them, and that is not the case with children under 16 being addicted to the Internet

No, big tobacco actively suppressed evidence that cigs were causing cancer, ran ads featuring cartoons to get kids into smoking, and funded their own studies saying tobacco was good for you. Social media companies have followed the same playbook.
No argument there, just like I said above, throw the book at Zuckerberg. That even an email saying we can get the tweens, speaking of children younger than teenagers.
But liberal society, thanks to the liberals, and some of the people on this forum, have made it impossible to punish wrong doers.

should democrats have to pay for causing brainwashing of liberals...having them out in the streets protect killers and rapists?
Your brain is rotten with fear and propaganda.

Impossible to punish wrongdoers?

Please explain. Are you referring to the mob of people who beat up 150 cops at the capital in 2020 and got presidential pardons?

No, not them.
SHouse may have the particulars of what each one did at what time and the physical trauma that resulted, as well as a trauma brought on by the people who walked in the door at the invitation of the cops. You make me laugh.
Repeat to us about the five people who were killed as Sunhouse keeps saying, which was a total lie. Now I really am laughing.

You embellish just a bit, but, yes it happened, tho they were not 'beat up. Was quite a melee. Amyway, it was a tough situatoin and the cops could hardly fight back as they were trained to do in fight and black=belt schools, ....would have resulted in beat-up citizens. .....so they had to sit and take it!!!! And please note I speak of the politicians and imporant people like Hillary who will never see even a reprimand.

Great topic, new stuff!!!!

There you go with that alternate reality again

These lawsuits against social media giants seem like a really big deal. Meta's market capital is at $1.63 trillion, earned off the backs of people who became hopelessly addicted to their product. The product was DESIGNED to be addictive and harmful, because that's what draws in the most eyeballs and dollars.

Does this remind you of tobacco?

Should they be required to ...[text shortened]... lwether.

Social media is a cancer.

Therefore the comparison to cigarette manufacturers who paid out over a hundred billion in a settlement to state governments for medical research to offset the harm caused by their products.

You deny they beat up cops, but the video exists and we all saw it. You gaslight.
