only if we do it ourselves instead of relying on obviously captured institutions.

On top of the privacy effects, short form video (SFV) is degrading everybody's cognition.

High-frequency SFV use was consistently associated with attentional disruption, reduced executive functioning, and emotional dysregulation. Several studies reported increased anxiety and compulsive use, though findings were heterogeneous.

And a firehose of mis and disinformation.
