you think it's crazy that drug and tobacco companies lied about their product not being addictive, provenly knowing otherwise, yet nobody expected them to ever have to pay reparations to their victims?

try convincing someone today that Facebook, Twitter, and Co. should pay reparations for being addictive. In the future, people will flip their shit about this not being the norm like we do when hearing about cocaine in coca cola

A Los Angeles jury has ordered YouTube and Facebook to pay 3 million USD to a woman who showed how these social media platforms made her addicted. Another domino has fallen.

@ErikUden people in 20 years will look at us like we are fucking idiots for allowing this to go on as long as we have.

We will look as stupid as the people who allowed asbestos and lead and smoking, etc. despite knowledge of the dangers.

And rightly so.
