Social media needs to be shut down. It’s destroying societies at an ever-accelerating rate. It’s also destroying peoples’ mental health, even when they think it’s good for them. Nothing is more toxic to your mental well-being than endless comparison. All of the posts about peoples’ happy and amazing lives wreaks havoc on peoples’ mental well-being, and the posts are just responses to other similar posts, in a competition. Meanwhile institutions that run society and keep us safe have been destroyed in only a handful of years, by these global platforms based on one metric only. Popularity. Likes. if you think this is all an exaggeration, remember Trump won the Presidency using Twitter, and then launched an assault on the US parliament, again through social media.
