There just aren't any good guys in this story.

Meta and its platforms suck and the world would be a better place without them. People who are claiming online platforms should be held liable for being "addictive" suck, too. Should I be able to successfully sue my Lemmy instance admin too because I like to spend time here too much?

I'm reminded of my parents limiting my forum time because they thought I (then a preteen) was "addicted" to forums in the mid-2000s. I still don't think they were right about that, and I don't sympathize with people now claiming the equivalent thing about Instagram et al. either.
