@evan a.. what?
@chris a health warning label. Like for cigarettes.

@evan For the Fediverse? What label would fit all?

Sidenote: If you need a sticker that tells you cigarettes are bad, you are special.

@chris maybe you should read the news, and then come back to this poll.

@evan Just did. This falls in the same drawer as #chatcontrol. Someone who never used the Net coughed that up.

People who abuse such things will not be stopped by a label.

@chris @evan https://ideas.time.com/2013/08/28/soda-and-the-scientific-pile-on-effect/ It reminds me of what Dr. Ferguson said here where if someone goes too crazy with warnings, then people might start ignoring warnings about things which actually matter.

We should be skeptical that any one phenomenon causes everything bad

@olives @evan Precisely. We never for weather warnings up to the point when there was a flood caused by persistent rain. Now we get warnings for every rain. No one is paying attention anymore.

But legally they are safe now.
