An interesting post, but comes across more as anti-American, but things are a bit nasty there. Fb could never have known it would be such a toxic place. Sadly, once they did, they did not correct it. The product for DB is shareholder dividends, not the customer. Allowing toxicity served short-term revenue goals. TikTok is not the answer, they're struggling to contain toxicity as well and studies are showing it's damaging teen mental health, just like Instagram and Twitter et al. Many social media channels struggle because of the Tragedy of the Commons.
