If FB is addictive then you need the medical community in on this, but the fact that they aren’t means you’re left alone making medical arguments about the affects of FB. Maybe my speech, this very one, is designed to give you the flu. But when we’re talking stakes like serious medical claims, then we should have serious medical consensus.

I don’t know if you work at Facebook or really believe what you’ve written. My spouse and I got so bad that we’d be on our phones over brunch or dinner looking at Facebook instead of having a conversation. It took us a couple years to break the habit and we both eventually deleted Facebook.

I defend big tech all the time (see my post history), but saying FB isn’t designed to be addictive isn’t accurate.

FB has many jobs that require degrees in psychology, and there are also many scientific studies showing negative mental health effects of FB use
