This ain&#x27;t news to me; I&#x27;m sure just about most self-aware persons are capable of (or already have) come to the conclusion that social media is cancerous for a positive mental state.<p>That&#x27;s not even mentioning the data mining and privacy issues that arise from such high profile companies having access to such thorough personal information. For them, it&#x27;s business as usual and a rather understandable response. If you have such info at hand, why not use it to further expand your business?<p>Unfortunately this thought process results in active harm to users (disregarding purposeful malice altogether). I am so thankful that I ditched social media consumption back in high school.
