Facebook/IG are the cigarettes of our age, and no less unhealthy; we should regulate them as such.

Smoking gives people cancer and heart disease at a pretty predictable rate. Quite baffling to claim facebook/ig are even close to that unhealthy.

It's less baffling if you value mental health and physical health equally.

Internet social media are merely 15 years old. We just don’t know yet what kind of toxic and pathological consequences there might be. To use an analogy, places where people use social media intensively and the people themselves soak in certain digital „smell” which is tailling them afterwards.

Definitely, I've been saying the exact same thing for quite a while. We're currently living in the 1950s of social media use (even kids smoking was considered ok back then). Eventually we'll look back at this the same way we think of smoking today, hopefully... :)
