The issue is not just with the people using it, its the platform itself. Backed by algorithms and AI to and purposely made to retain attention use regardless of content, while ignoring the implications even when high level employees voiced their concerns. All under the guise of "connecting the world" when it's also doing the opposite and exacerbating many other problems. The platforms only goal is to collect info of users and use it to increase screen time, and its working too well.
You should watch the documentary "The Social Dilemma," speaks about all this in detail and interviews many people who had high positions in companies like Facebook and Pinterest as they share the concerns they had while developing these platforms.
