Social media is actually something that poisons not only children but also adults.

Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta Platforms, the owner of Instagram, defended his company’s leadership in a landmark legal case in California on Wednesday regarding whether social media is addictive for children.

In fact, addiction exists not only among children but also among adults. You’re likely to see this addiction when you get on a train or bus. Social media has truly become a life-killing, poisonous element. Nobody reads newspapers anymore, nobody even feels the need to learn a foreign language anymore. Because thanks to the internet, everything is easily accessible, and within this ease, social media has become a poisonous element for people. People who try to present themselves differently on social media, those who edit old films to make money, those who strip for money, those who perform absurd dance shows, those who are curious about other people’s lives and compare themselves to what they see on social media…

Social media has turned into a platform that transforms people. And worse, people have started to position themselves according to the tastes and preferences of others, pretending to live a life they don’t actually live. In other words, social media is actually a fake life poured onto the internet. Social media is not spreading good, but rather making evil spread much faster. While the number of good people is decreasing, it is creating pathetic individuals who live stressful lives, envy the wealthy lives of others, and try to emulate them. Children are at the very bottom of this spectrum; they are the easiest to poison.
