    Social media isn’t bad inherently. Addictive algorithms, violation of user privacy, etc. is bad.

    Cigarettes aren’t bad for you. It’s just the burning tar and the nicotine.

      But social media don’t have to burn tar. They chose to because this way they can get more money, but it’s not an inherent part of the system, it’s an exploitation of it for profit, and can be separated

        Message boards aren’t social media.
