There really was a time when Facebook was like ‘Here’s what your friends are up to. Here are some cool events that your friends are having. Here’s some games you can play together.’

Social media hasn’t delivered exhaustion. It’s delivered brainwashing of the youth and isolated people, radicalism of the youth and isolated people, home grown terrorism on both sides of the political spectrum.
Social media has become a problem. Most of us can see that problem pretty clearly now. I don’t know what the solution is but just letting things continue as they are does not seem like a good course of action.
There mod. Is that long enough? Or are you going to delete this comment also for some fabricated reason?
