  I wouldn’t say nothing happened. Young people migrated off of it and it’s now the lead gasoline of the social media world

    Yeah but young people didn’t migrate off it because it was harmful

    They migrated in part to instagram which Facebook bought and made even more harmful than Facebook itself

  Then literally Web 2.0 is the problem. All social media stops existing if we go back from Web 2.0.

      Web 2.0 is the umbrella term for a bunch of things that enabled the social media we see today. Infinite scroll, notification toasts and asynchronous loading of new content to name a few.

      If we had to reload a page every time we wanted new content we would see way less and move on more quickly.

  back then it wasn’t about political independence from the US.

  the EU has made a lot of noise in the last 2 weeks about getting off of US platforms. Here’s a few examples:

  There’s many more. The movement is significant.

  25 years ago. Every study on social media and mental health back then showed it was bad.
