    It’s literally having a real effect on kids brains though, especially the short form videos with their constant stream of dopamine. It’s also been seen time and time again that the algorithms are pushing people to more and more extreme alt right content. This problem is mostly with the big companies though, with their algorithms actively pushing for this result.

      Quite possibly! But I think it’s still a moral panic, unless you insist that means it’s unfounded.

        I think the thing I disagree with most is the morality part of it. It’s not only on moral grounds people are panicking, but also on scientific grounds.
