How do you know it was preventable to begin with? I think human nature for the most part made it an inevitability of these tech companies like FB, twitter to emerge in some shape or form etc. People were hooked into it before it became a run-away optimizer of a certain set of behavioral patterns. There's a spontaneity towards certain things, this question won't have a single definitive answer. It's only best to watch the procession happen now, same thing with the rest of technology. Attempting to curtail technology most likely also runs a risk too. Much of the issues of the aforementioned platforms were predicted decades prior to the recent guilt, from French philosophers like Baudrillard to media scientists like McLuhan.
