I would argue that as products of society and society's productive make up (including its economic and ideological spheres), social networking giants are not the root of social ills. But the structure of these networks originates from the same place that society's problems come from, and in my view this makes the problem worse by serving as a way by which society reproduces itself. A famous German philosopher once said that a society that does not reproduce itself economically (through production and consumption) will be finished within a week. Much later a French philosopher noted this is just as true for ideology which must be reproduced (through schools, church, the media, entertainment and social media) or society will change for better or worse.
