    This was an embarrassing and unhinged article to read.

    Big tech companies (we’re talking about Meta FFS) have long demonstrated they will exploit psychology to trigger addiction-like behaviours to make people stay more time on their app and be able to generate more money through ads.

    I’m at a loss for words regarding how the article is unable to grasp how schools are not funded as well as these tech companies to combat the unethical shit they do through education.

    I’m also dumbfounded as to why is this article in a censorship channel. Poor Zuckerberg can’t suck whatever blood he wants? How about posting articles about how social media have contributed to promote polarizing contents and propaganda for years if not decades, much of which is meant to destabilise western democracies?

      How about posting articles about how social media have contributed to promote polarizing contents and propaganda for years if not decades, much of which is meant to destabilise western democracies?

      If you want to read such articles, I suggest you find or create a “decline into polarizing content” or “decline into propaganda” community. This is the “decline into censorship” community where it is obviously on-topic to talk about a government trying to influence what we can or cannot post on the Internet (including filtered photos on Instagram).
