Similar warnings are required on cigarettes, and there isn’t much difference between the two.

Did you read blunderkid's comment? He's much farther into "opinion" territory. I don't think he's stated a single fact.

They didn’t. They ruled corporations don’t have much free speech when it comes to product advertising and declarations of potential harm their products may cause their users.

Can you post a link to RCT-based evidence backing this claim? I don't see anything on CDC website or any professional medical organization about Facebook being as harmful as cigarettes.
