Social Media is ruining our lives
- Social media like Facebook has algorithms that are addictive to keep you on their site. While this is a problem, this isn’t the major thing that is ruining us.
- It is third party companies who use apps like Facebook and other social medias to take our data from being on it and feed us manipulative posts and ideas. This is what is harmful as they are using our own data against us to manipulate and brainwash us in ways we don’t understand.
