    Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates… informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.

    It’s crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.

    In other words, I think this is a good start.

      China regulates TT a great deal and not just in a censorship kinda way either. I forget the details but supposedly they’re required to have their algorithm lean educational and wholesome over engagement and trash, but only for their Chinese audience, everyone else gets trash lmao

      I think that’s not a bad idea tbh

      Why? Because you don’t like them?

      How about we just let people choose rather than having the government choose for us?

        I think there are much more substantial reasons at play here than just “not liking it,” and I think you knew that before you posted. :P
