Social media has brought more harms than goods
The Industrialist
You're wrong. Social media built the modern economy. Small businesses reach millions without Madison Avenue gatekeepers. Activists organized the Arab Spring, #MeToo, climate strikes—movements that never happen without network effects. Yes, there's toxicity, but that exists everywhere. The difference is transparency. On social media, abuse is visible and reportable. In corporate boardrooms and government, it stays hidden for decades. Billions use these platforms daily to connect with family, build careers, find community. If harms outweighed goods, people would leave. They don't. They choose to stay because the benefits are real—connection, opportunity, voice. Your argument mistakes noise for harm.
What specific "harm" are you actually concerned about?
