    If you’re taking doctor advice on social media, you’re the problem.

    Ironically, measures like this just serve to reinforce people’s trust in social media as a legitimate source of information.

      No, both sides are. It’s not okay to pretend to be a doctor and masquerade paid product promotion as medical advise.

      But it’s also inherently not okay to look at TikTok (or something comparable) for medical advise, that’s just obvious bullshit. And any even remotely reasonable person should intuitively know that.
