I think it likely needs to get bad enough that people actually stop using them altogether or ask government to step in. we do this with social media now where the school systems here strongly discourage social media use at home, and the government is considering bans or age restrictions (the latter requiring some kind of ID upload). this is similar to smoking; it wasn't that people would necessarily ban themselves from doing it, but bowed to a desire for the government to make forceful pushes to shove people out of it.
of course, not all social media is bad, I think. maybe. -but I think it's easier to get people to make the government ban Facebook/Instagram/Reddit/whatever than have people individually switch; it's sort of inherently antisocial for a person to peel off from the main hive and switch to a smaller self-selecting platform, I might argue.
