I think we straddle the edge of social media here. I think the layer of anonymity here means we’re not quite social media. This feels more like the old usenet newsgroups of the 90’s to me. I know it’s pretty much the Reddit 2009 experience, but that also felt like Usenet.
Walking through the park today and went under trees that just had bark chips and dirt underneath. Looked a bit meh. I was reminded of a pic of some young adult saying how people tell him to go outside instead of being of the computer all day. He showed outside, a very dull dingy grey dirty old eastern bloc dormitory city. So his SIM city would be better, just like on the new Brave New World series, people could be fed a nice make believe place.
But surely it would be best if he went outside and did something to improve his home rather than escape reality?
These rights of free speech are part of the social contract. People who break that social contract to bring down the system of freedoms or to do harm to others have that right revoked.
No one has the right to use freedom to trample others.

That would deprive us of your comments though

Imagine how wholesome society would be if everything wasn’t for a feed.
it should be regulated

This is quite a take. Regulation could be government overreach, but banning social media outright is not?

Yeah who’s doing the banning? The government? Who can also… Regulate…
I think they’d regulate. Hard to argue that regulation is more overreaching than banning lol
