I agree, but I'd add that a stable society both allows adults to gamble and teaches kids why not to gamble, sometimes teaching by example. A simple game can be run in any classroom from 3rd to 7th grade that shows how any group of people given an artificial megaphone may end up bullying and torturing even the biggest bullies in the class. The experience of that is what enables reflection later in life when one finds oneself part of a group bullying other people, and has the thought to step back and question why they're participating in it. Social media as it is right now leverages the instincts of bullies, and turns people into mobs. Period. It elevates the one human instinct that is a priori most antithetical to both individual liberty and social cohesion: The desire for naked attention, good bad or otherwise. The only justification it holds out for doing so is that it has identified a profitable vice, a flaw in the human operating system (like gambling) and that there's no law against capitalizing on it.
