No, it was not. It was actually nothing like that.

No babies were left to die because their parents were out searching for tiktok clips. I saw no people whoring themselves on the street just to see a few tiktok clips. I heard no stories of children stealing from their own family to get a few scrolls of tiktok. There was no people killing each other just to get a hit of tiktok.

Let's not trivialize something like drug addiction by comparing it to kids procrastinating by watching their TV phone app.

I think you're probably vastly discounting the amount of childhood neglect wrought by social media addiction on both the parent and child's parts.

		No, I'm not. The median child of a social media user is vastly more well off than the median child of a heroin/crack cocaine user and its not even close. The fact you're suggesting otherwise is quite frankly wild. Glad I could draw attention to the irrational logic of the current "social media is evil" moral panic du jour.

True facts. My friend spent an entire day without weed once, and he killed 3 people, and abandoned seven babies. Four of which weren't even his!

		Not sure if you're aware opioids and crack exist.
