Oh yeah. It's Facebook that causes kids to become depressed or attempt suicide.
Nevermind the student loan debt crisis, the floundering economy or the authoritarianism sneaking in.
Definitely social media.
Spoken like the disconnected politicians creating these laws. Hilariously off the mark.
Social media is as dangerous for kids as video games. There's an argument to be made for advertising but I sense that is far beyond the perception of the people blaming social media for the state of the democratic society they've participated in for the past few decades...
- javagram 4y agoHigh school teens don’t have a student loan debt crisis. The economy has been going gangbusters from 2008 to 2022. “Authoritarianism” predominately affecting teens, the most politically disconnected group aside from young children? None of your reasons make more sense than the social media theory (btw, the experience of “authoritarianism” is likely from social media/internet news as other than for some marginalized groups like undocumented immigrants, nothing bad has been happening directly to the majority of teens or their friend groups.)
