Just like efforts against tobacco and alcohol, these efforts includes education, research, and as necessary, litigation.

Hope everyone is making the most of the long weekend. For reading material, here's more on the "To***co Playbook", and how soft drink companies have adopted it to lure new users:

Who's seen The Social Dilemma on Netflix? It's less a documentary, and more a warning flare. It pulls back the curtain on how social media platforms quietly shape behavior. It’s unsettling, a bit alarmist, and absolutely worth watching.
