Absolutely. While we're at it, why should asbestos be regulated? You can just not go in buildings that have it.

Call me when "infinite scroll" causes cancer.

[afavour]

I would agree that infinite scrolling social media feeds do induce a kind of sickness. But a mental one.

[denkmoon]

It is a cancer of the body politic.

[bradleykingz]

it kinda does?

[tt24]

I’d have no problem with this as long as the building makes it known that it contains asbestos.

Infinite scroll is immediately evident. Just don’t use it if you don’t like it

[gghackernewsgg]

Completely agree.

What are your thoughts on introducing a law that requires social media sites with infinite scroll to feature an addiction warning, something like: "Using this platform may cause addiction in some users."?

[tt24]

Not thrilled about it but it would be way better than this

[pjc50]

This is basically the Californian Prop 65 compromise: put up a sign saying the building contains carcinogens, but not actually do anything about them.

[bcjdjsndon]

So log off? If you think it's really that bad why are you anywhere near a screen at all?

[pjc50]

Do you know what a negative externality is?

[telchior]

There's good reason for a lot of the inaction around asbestos. If it's not moving, not being touched and not accessible to kids / pets etc then it's fine to leave alone. The alternative being extremely costly remediation, and there are still millions of structures with asbestos in them.

... Prop 65 is dumb though. Kind of a trend in California law.
