    It is far better to protect them from social media than to protect them from poverty /s

      Aren’t we on this form of social media because we inherently disagree how larger forms (X, FB) are ran and who runs them?

      I don’t necessarily agree with the implementation, but I can definitely see why a reduction in people using those social media could be a net positive for the country.

      Though no disagreement about a 11% increase being shocking…

        Seems like a reason to change how those larger form run and who runs them then.

        No algorithms, no dark patterns. No information systems , controlled by billionaires, with a vested interested in what information is shown to whom.
