@taylorlorenz I find it so weird that you are siding with the tech industry on this. arenamag.com/2024/07/31/playin

For the most part, tech’s founders, venture capitalists, media influencers, and operators––barring the staunchest critics—have been strangely silent in public about how phone use is shaping our culture. Social media executives––including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, X CEO Linda Yaccarino, Snap’s Evan Spiegel, and Discord’s Jason Citron––have defended their platforms against allegations of harm before Congress. Zuckerberg, testifying before Congress in February, specifically rejected the social media hypothesis while outlining dozens of steps Meta would take anyway to appease concerns. But none has commented on Haidt’s book.
