Why can't it be the same category? How many studies need to smack you in the face about social media causing increased levels of depression and anxiety in both teens and adults? Why should social media companies get zero scrutiny for a way of living that they hoisted into the world with zero thought for the repercussions? Why do individuals have to fix a multination corporation's fuck up rather than regulating these companies. I mean we have Meta itself denying researchers data to study this phenomena independently. How is that fair? I as an individual am apparently not even allowed to study how this harms me or my loved ones. IDK, seems like the whole thing has gone awry to me. These companies deserve the hate they get and they've done a disastrous job navigating the political landscape.
