I have that concern too. Many things in history are easy to say: "simply apply good critical thinking skills and you will be fine" But social media in particular clearly subverts the discipline behind good critical thinking. The dopamine hits, the need to feel connected yet people don't want to verbally talk if they can message instead. And the doomscroll is literally never ending. It all makes it harder to communicate with meaning and apply good critical thinking. One can't but wonder if Social Media is different. But I have hope that the "social media natives" will have their own strategies (shamelessness being discussed here). They will be different, but not dead.
