We dont need to get addicted to the social media ....it is for nothing desipating our time , our life to be more precise .....Alienation is what we are being subjected to ....but we dont care it is gradually changing our thought about what life is actually meant to be like....even if we are in front of our family we dont even look at them.....our senses are always bend & stick to the screen ....we need to skip these things in our lives...in my opinion more we minimize the use of social media more happiness we will seek.....

Indeed, it does seem to be an addiction for a great many people nowadays. My question re an alternative, was directly connected to James' s report and how the internet has provided a real platform for truth seekers. That platform is, as demonstrated, under attack and freedom of speech along with it. It is clear that they monitor our thinking and communicating, but what is our alternative - I cannot see one which even closely, matches social media platforms like YouTube / DTube for reaching audiences seeking alternative news media. I appreciate your response.

There is a clear difference between being subjected to it, to being addicted to it, and mastering it, and using it to inform people of the truth. It's not hard to see the difference, at least for people that haven't been indoctrinated from birth.

Use it for good. Don't let it abuse you to spread evil empires.

Sorry @valued-customer is your comment addressed to me? Or to @obaidb2?

@obaidb2. Just pointing out that one needn't be addicted or abused to be highly engaged and use social media.

Edit: I guess it is impossible to avoid being abused in the process. Maybe I should rather say it isn't necessary to be abusive.
