    It’s frustrating that they act like it’s private right now. The whole situation is typical absurd human behavior.

    Algorithm-based, ad supported social media is a public health crisis and damages people of all ages. It should be destroyed. At that point we don’t have to worry about it’s effect on kids or them using VPNs to circumvent age restrictions.
