    Social media is doing serious damage to people’s mental health, especially the non-anonymous ones. It’s a good thing that it’s being clamped down on.

    There’s a study being commissioned in the UK on why there are record numbers of young people that are NEETS, and why there is a mental health crisis. I’ll bet that social media is found to be a major factor.

      Really? So not the ongoing economic implosion, the rise of facism, and the destruction of our planet’s entire ecosystem?

      Huh. Wierd.

        Surely not. Forget about the economy. Just indoctrinate the youth and impose strict censorship. It’s the secret of the success of the Soviet Union. BTW Have they conquered the world by now? I stopped following the news in the 1980s.
