We've known the side effects of social media for decades but we're still doing nothing...

Decades? Aren't they less than 2 decades old?

I doubt we knew it's effects for decades

Speak for yourself; I thought Facebook was shitty back in 1984.

Iirc, I was about 16 when Myspace was a thing. I'm gonna be 40 very soon

We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.
