Doubt that very very much
- dietr1ch 9mo agoI could doubt tobacco is a drug cause I don't need it and don't find it interesting, but if I look around beyond just myself it's hard to doubt.
- micik 9mo agoTobacco doesn’t consume time. In an economy, time is an important asset. When people are scrolling, they are neither creating nor consuming (spending money), which makes them inert from the GDP standpoint. It’s an economic blackhole. This is why the government needs to care. If it goes unchecked, it will bring the economy to its knees. No country in the world can afford to have a significant portion of its population burn their time and energy like that.
- dietr1ch 9mo agoAre you sure? Having an excuse for smoke breaks during work seemed to be a really good selling point
- danielheath 9mo agoYou doubt that it's a drug? Or you doubt that internal messages describing IG as a drug are relevant to a lawsuit over social media addiction?
- NoPicklez 9mo agoI think they might doubt that it will doom Meta
- Bombthecat 9mo agoCorrect, Meta won the war, just like loot boxes will keep existing, while proven to be designed to make you addicted. People are just way to optimistic instead of realistic.
- goku12 9mo ago> People are just way to optimistic instead of realistic. Apathetic is a more appropriate description. This is as optimistic as hoping to not contract lung cancer without ever bothering to quit smoking.
