Should social media usage be recommended like alcohol units?

from Agreeably

We’re exploring the state of social media and perhaps the absurdity of how we consume it. If a pint of beer, or a sandwich comes with strict labels, games with PEGI age ratings, why does an infinite scroll come with zero guardrails?

The podcast focuses on capitalism’s triple crisis – and especially on the prospects for defusing the crisis and
