The problem is that this is the worst way to go about it. The solution is not to bar people from accessing social media, but rather negate the incentive that makes big social addictive. Act on big business, not the citizen, go against power, not the powerless.
Big social isn’t profitable unless they’re tracking people. So they sure won’t stop doing that. It would be their ending.
And when the governments do act on something, people go on “muh rights” tirades online, like everyone here.
Literally acting like gun rights people when the government tries to regulate arms. And social media is a hell of a weapon right now. It would be strange to defend firearms for everyone, even for kids. People think firearms are freedom, cars are freedom, smoking in restaurants is freedom. Well, I’ve been here before social media and I know it isn’t freedom.
That being said… here, have an upvote because I agree with you.
