I’m still in the camp that thinks this is a push by the ad and marketing companies to improve their targeting.
The world is savvy to invasions of privacy, and many users probably choose ad and tracking blockers of various kinds. I agree the kids need to be educated about this kind of targeting and manipulation, but I’m not sure another booze er…social media prohibition solves any problem.
As Citizen Lab points out, there’s big money and serious players behind all that targeting and surveillance. Why contribute to it?

A UK sex educator is questioning whether social media's contraception advice is reliable. Misinformation about birth control spreads widely online, with many women reporting real concerns about side effects. This raises questions about health information on digital platforms. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyvw9pgjveo #Media #SocialMedia #DataPrivacy

Another #reality is that #SocialMedia can be misleading. It is now common to meet people this way, but what someone presents online is only a fragment. Words & posts can create an impression that does not always reflect who they are in person. For me, it reinforces a simple approach: move slowly, observe carefully, & trust what is actually experienced over what is presented. Not every introduction needs to become a friendship. (3/4)
