Tobacco-like warning label for social media sought by US surgeon general who asks Congress to act

SUMMARY: The US Surgeon General has declared the mental crisis among young people an emergency, attributing part of the problem to social media. He advocates for health warnings on social media platforms akin to those on tobacco and alcohol products. Research shows teens spend nearly 5 hours daily on social media, exacerbating youth anxiety and depression. In an op-ed, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy emphasized that social media's safety is unproven and compared the proposed warnings to anti-smoking labels. Although there's bipartisan congressional support for increased social media safeguards for kids, legislation has stalled. Murthy also urges parents to enforce more phone-free time.

The U.S. surgeon general has called on Congress to require warning labels on social media platforms and their effects on young people's lives, similar to those now mandatory on cigarette boxes.

SUMMARY: Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning discusses key Dallas Cowboys issues as training camp approaches. Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is holding out for a new contract, reminiscent of Zach Martin's situation. Quarterback Dak Prescott is also in line for an extension but isn't holding out. Defensive star Micah Parsons could become the highest-paid non-quarterback but focuses on next year's contract. Controversy arose when Malik Hooker advised Parsons to focus more on the team, leading to tension. Lastly, head coach Mike McCarthy faces uncertainty in his final contract year, needing a deep playoff run to secure an extension.
