So many problems we face are just artefacts of social media. Like the current ‘youth crime waves’, seen across many countries. Imitative rivalry, driven by social media. Our refusal to act against Covid, or to vote Yes? Social media. Refusal to act on climate change by shifting to renewable energy and buying EVs? Social media. The obsession with using cash? Social media. Body image problems? Social media. The surge in nonsense ideas about gender? Social media. I could list these all day.
