As a social media user, I see nothing harmful for teenagers and even younger children in the mechanics of social media. It can be an effective means of building community, effective communication, creativity, respect and was the ultimate vision of many Internet pioneers to promote global, participatory culture.
As a parent, there is no way my children are being exposed to the hateful, insane graphorrhea of you ignorant misanthropes.
The ‘mechanics’ of notifications, infinite scroll, public by default, algorithmic sorting, etc all carried everywhere on a rather large mobile device are all quite problematic. Social media without all of this would be far less addictive for most people, both children and adults included.
