    These platforms are responsible for the destruction of civilization under the guise of “connecting everyone”.

    CA discovered how to “hack” people’s minds, then maybe the Russians and Chinese figured it out, and the oligarchy and the lunatic fringe want all in to brainwash the world.

    Makes me angry knowing that at anytime a bigger war could break out.

      As far as I can tell, advertisement/profit-driven social media that is directly tied to your real identity might actually be the worst thing humanity has ever invented.

      Oops!

      Turns out we’re mostly vain and stupid, in our default state.

      Now amplify.

      Oh and as a bonus:

      It serves as a kind of self perpetuating auto-panopticon.

      It never ceases to amaze me how many people just record thems committing, planning to commit, bragging about committing, or admitting to commiting crimes that can put you away for 5 years plus… on fucking TikTok.
