I get what the author is going for, but I always come back to the feeling that these are self-created problems for the most part.
The author does point to the CEO and his love interest and that being exposed on social media and there was much destruction in their lives, but it had really nothing to do with social media; it had to do with their behavior in the human world, and social media just accelerated the discovery.
And on so many of the other points, it's funny how I'm not on tiktok, instagram, facebook, or any of the privacy destroying apps looking for attention and posting personal information, and curiously /s I have none of the described problems.
I cannot relate to this lamentation.
I'm a huge privacy advocate, you should be able to intuit that from my comment, so don't come at me saying I don't value privacy, my point is that when you put your information out in the world and you act like a drama factory or an idiot, guess what??? And furthermore what the fuck were you doing sending your DNA to some random corporation???
