My personal opinion is that social media is an absolute poison. The internet is an amazing way of connecting disparate people who perhaps don’t have many connections in their immediate community, but as social media has grown those excessive ‘insane’ users are distorting it for everyone - if I was to think of an analogy, going for Sunday lunch in a pub, but you’ve got one table who are absolute alcoholics ruining the experience for everyone else, they invite some patrons from other tables to have a drink and join their group but it’s still a mess of a party, and terrible for everyone else. It’s not going to be easy to put controls in place without being oppressive and draconian, and therefore the poison will spread as more and more people join the communities, even more so as older less ‘switched on’ people join.
