We need to stop focusing on specific products and platforms and focus on the roots of the problem:
Algorithmic mediation that invisibly shapes our experiences
Business models that feed off of “engagement” (aka addiction)
Data that is extracted, amassed, and weaponized against users—jacking up prices, targeting kids with predatory content, and keeping you scrolling.
TikTok or Instagram or Roblox or whatever… the products are not THE problem. They are the SYMPTOM of the problem(s). If 8-year olds can get it, surely our policymakers can.
