Commercial social media is a cancer on society. Facebook has convinced adults to commit atrocities. There is no doubt it's harming children.

The thing that shocked me is some kids have anxiety merely walking from class to class if they aren't with a friend then they need to be on their phones, sometimes even pretending to be messaging people or commenting because they feel judged by kids around them for not being popular enough or something

Yes, facebook should be shut down.

The oppression of children is a gross attack on a defenseless population that's not actually going to improve anything.
