If you're on Facebook, it is in their interest to piss you off so you stay and fight. But plenty of other tools exist to connect folks online without being manipulative. It's like fire, nuclear energy, or most any other tool. Use it right and everyone benefits, use it wrong and people get hurt. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frogfruit@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 years ago Agreed, but we're specifically talking about looking at depraved content on the Internet. permalink fedilink source parent [–] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Yes but we can't tell if that's caused by being online, it's possible you'd have had the same problems anyway or possibly worse.
