We’ve known the side effects of social media for decades but we’re still doing nothing…
Decades? Aren’t they less than 2 decades old?
I doubt we knew it’s effects for decades
Speak for yourself; I thought Facebook was shitty back in 1984.
MySpace surely was one of them. Came out in 2003. So…two decades? :D
A little over two decades actually.
Iirc, I was about 16 when Myspace was a thing. I’m gonna be 40 very soon
We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.
Wow more articles raising awareness of an issue your dead Grandma already knows about.
Because that’s a lot easier then doing anything about it, and anything that claims to do anything about it is a bill full of other agendas that barely addresses the problem.
To quote pink Floyd: There is no dark side. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.
Most people don’t need social media to be justified in being dissatisfied with their body image
