for now. Unpopular opinion, social network should be regulated like casinos.

Social network apps with scrolling feeds are literally online slot machines. People get stuck in the machine zone. It's exactly the same thing, minus the explicit money transaction.

This design should be regulated the same way slot machines are.

I mean that we need something like a forced label on every social platform: a forced 5 second splash screen with a warning. “this app can cause depression, self-esteem issues and is detrimental to your mental health. Here are some resources to know more”

I wish the EU commission had the guts to push for something like this for all dopamine-kick and scroll-based apps

Cigarettes are heavily regulated for adults too.
