> Facebook didn't change anyone. It certainly does. Humans are as much a function of the environment as they are of their genes. Different generations have clearly different value systems. If what you said were true, parents wouldn't try so hard to put their children in healthy environments, because an environment "doesn't make a good person into a bad person." > The longer we try to blame a technology for humanities issues... Again, by this logic, parents should not ever restrict how much screen time their children have. Nor never blink an eye no matter what websites their children spend lots of time on.

Children do not have fully formed brains. Society has decided the best way to mitigate the negative consequences stemming from decisions made by children with brains which have not fully developed is to allow parents the authority to make decisions for them. If an adult wants to spend all day in front of a computer screen, they can choose to do so. If an adult wants to spend all day on Facebook, they can choose to do so. If you believe Facebook would turn you into a bad person, you are well within your right to not use Facebook. I don't use Facebook, but that's because it's an unenjoyable experience. Not because I think it's some evil hypnosis device.
