It’s worth remembering that critical thinking in education was gutted starting in the '80s. I’m 46, and by high school, interpreting literature was reduced to regurgitating that specific teacher’s analysis of a work. We were already being indoctrinated to accept what an authority figure said without question.
Resulting in all sorts of bullshit that brings us to today. I’ll be the first to admit that Facebook was useful for reconnecting with old friends when it first launched (I was out of college but retained a .edu email – my fiancee was in college, so I found out it existed through her), but that was a novelty with a short fuse.
If an individual did what Meta does on a daily basis across its platforms to another individual just once, you’d have and open-and-shut stalking case on your hands.
