If you have read anything Haidt has written, you'll probably note that this implied criticism of him being only anti TikTok is quite far off the mark.

Meta is currently on trial for antitrust.

As was pointed out elsewhere in this post Jon Haidt has been railing about social media for a while now, and has written several books on the subject.

Hopefully all social media.

and all of them should be run by non-profit organizations unconnected to any charity nor politically motivated organization nor state.

Agree with this. All of them.

That includes the new ones such as Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon.

No exceptions.

Ah, but would you also include NH, Stack Overflow, LinkedIn, GitHub, Quora... too ?

(Speaking of, this was important, but I still spent too much time on it on HN... EDIT : heh, as immediately proved by the "posting too fast" rate limiter...)

P.S.: Platforms are also a very related but not identical evil.

Won't someone think of the profits??
