Social media will be the smoking of our generation.

In a century, they’ll wonder how we could possibly have kept engaging knowing the harm we were doing to ourselves.

Is the harm really on that level? What is the magnitude of harm?

Yeah, let’s just keep smoking cigarettes, using leaded gasoline, and spewing carbon into the air until we know for sure how bad it is.

I’ll admit some things are cut n dry. Will you admit some things are not cut n dry?

You’re forcing a direct comparison with one category, but how do I know that’s the correct comparison?

I won’t claim to follow it closely but every one of these I’ve seen shows a small impact to a small subset of vulnerable users. That’s a far cry from other things that are universally damaging.
