"Delete Facebook" is like saying "Delete drugs." The whole reason Facebook is dangerous is because its draw on the human psyche is stronger than that of the average person to resist, and that the people who do engage with it can harm the people who don't. There needs to be a national social media policy the way there is a national drug policy. We need to have the conversation about where we want to be as a country from "full ban" to "fully legal," just like people recognize that a country's drug policy can be somewhere between Singapore's and Portugal's.

- GoodJokes 5y agoWhile we figure out a social media policy (cough, not for profit, cough) we can also delete Facebook. Facebook isn’t social media, it is a proven bad actor in the social media space. Any article that doesn’t begin and end with that seems pretty contextless to me.
