But I well understand the struggle parenting can be. And I make poor decisions just like everyone else.

Sorry, people. The truth is, of course, somewhere in between. I am old and out of touch and I can't imagine allowing my children/grandkids to endlessly use social media any more than I could imagine handing them a syringe filled with heroin.

I'm sorry but I have to let my frustrations show...

Yes, we all know social media uses psychology to keep people's attention (in simple terms). But one of the suits involved children which makes my head scream "What are the parents doing??!! Why are they not to blame but Meta is??!!" And as adults when did we all become too stupid to make better choices? I just know that we need to be responsible for our own choices and failures --or everything likely will play out as you predict.

Thank you, Rob.

The one-message media in North Korea is exactly like FoxNews- support MAGA, support trump no matter what; no matter real world facts.

As you state her Rob, โ€œthe message holds because itโ€™s the only message people ever hear.โ€
