Facebook should be 'regulated like cigarette industry'

quote [ Facebook should be regulated like a cigarette company, because of the addictive and harmful properties of social media, according to Salesforce chief executive Marc Benioff.

Social networks would be regulated “exactly the same way that you regulated the cigarette industry”, Benioff told CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“Here’s a product – cigarettes – they’re addictive, they’re not good for you, maybe there’s all kinds of different forces trying to get you to do certain things. There’s a lot of parallels. ]

Regulation is the price of being successful...

So what's the structure of the chemical the body has become dependent on in Facebook? Zuckerburgium?

It's sort of a valid point, but a pretty weak argument.
