Social media as a tool strikes me as the same kind of argument as “REAL socialism hasn’t been tried yet”

It doesn’t feel at all to me that there are any social media platforms that function at all like tools but rather data vampires attempting to addict at any cost” and so Haidt’s mention of increased suicide rate is unfortunately not at all a surprise.

Sorry if this sounds harsh but calling platforms in the zeitgeist at this moment in time as tools is simply naive.
