I have mixed feelings about this. It's no secret that legacy social media is bad for children. Their algorithms led to a new clinical disease called Facebook depression. WTF?! Rage algos have hurt an entire generation.

However, it's not the children's fault. It's the social media company's fault. (And maybe the parents for letting them use these applications at young ages for hours on end.) Companies should be held accountable, IMO. They won't be held accountable though. We know this.

Apparently, it's up to us. We will fix it. We will obsolete them. We will fix social media. We'll make being social online healthier.
