> When will we start seeing white box Surgeon General warnings on Tiktok and Youtube that remind the user prolonged exposure can cause serious mental health issues?

We won't (or if we do they won't accomplish anything), because once you've moved to a low-trust society, which we are rapidly doing, any official statements telling you which information to consume/avoid are seen as Enemy Action and make you trust your outside sources even harder. You can find tons of Zoomers saying they get news from Tiktok specifically because it's not under the control of The Man (even though it's controlled by the Chinese government, the ultimate The Man). There are no easy fixes here.
