    Social media addiction is not quite the same thing as opium addiction

      Of course not, but can also make people unproductive and by guiding the content you can make the whole population acquire stupid behaviours

        I think you're really misevaluating the (non)equivalence between how you're crippled as an organism by opium addiction vs just having your attention fucked up by tiktok

          Yes, of course.

          In this case, what UK+France did to China at that time is much worse than what China is doing to the US now.

          So it would be much more hypocritical if UK followed suit
