A simple approach to that problem is to stop using Twitter. I don't have Twitter account nor a Facebook account, nor I read any news or content originating from these services.

Nobody forces anybody to use these services or rely on them in anyway. The author himself has a Twitter account. So if he really disagree with Twitter content why doesn't he close it? Facebook, Twitter and Google are in the influence business, they sell eyeballs to the highest bidder, that's their product. Every decision they will make is to pursue that goal. If you despise these platforms, then why are you using them?

This article is quite emotional, and quite hypocritical at the same time. Yes people spread bullshit, and no, nobody is forced to pay attention to that in anyway.

Well fwiw we do ban gambling in most jurisdictions, and many internet services have adopted the gambling industry's tactics for user addiction. So it's not entirely without precedent I would think.
