Each and every one of these points applies to Meta in a huge way:
> 1. Addictive, compulsive, and problematic use
2. Depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, self-harm, and suicide
3. Porn, violence, and drugs
4. Sextortion, CSAM, and sexual exploitation
5.TikTok knows about underage use and takes little action
Jonathan Haidt has written and published huge amounts of posts, papers, and an entire book targeting social media and technology as a whole (not shying away from American-owned media, if anything, specifically targeting them). Literally yesterday, he published the same format of post against Snapchat [0]. Why does reading a single post targeting one social media destroy any credibility at all?

Hell, it's even a matter of congressional record!

it doesn't make it right, but this current political climate's myopic focus on tiktok alone destroys any credibility on this.
