> but I doubt society as a whole would take measures to artificially limit this for everyone the same way we limit consumption tobacco, alcohol. I disagree. I think there is a real awakening that ubiquitous connectivity, and especially social media use, has a detrimental effect to individuals and society at least on par with tobacco or alcohol. I already see progress being made in 2 areas (not commenting on the wisdom of any individual proposal, as implementation is complex and difficult, just on an emerging consensus that these are problems): 1. limitations on childrens' use of social media and other online services 2. increasing public understanding that the issue isn't so much the tech channel, but the "algorithms" designed to hijack our dopamine pathways and lead us down "personalization" rabbit holes.
