What about statues? Because I say don't look at them if you don't like them but people love tearing them down if they don't like them. Live and let live, amirite? All we get from those people are "If I don't like it, it's being removed. If you don't like it, too bad." That's not gonna fly.
I don't support tearing down anything and that includes social media. Let the marketplace decide what they want to watch and or consume.

And rap, but it was only racist to say rap music and its messages are a problem.

Social media is terrible. It infects our children and ironically, social media destroys their social skills. It's the worst thing that has ever tapped into our recent society.
Except it's not going anywhere and will only become more and more ingrained into the culture. Not too far off in the future I'm sure people will have devices implanted that will permit them to interact with social media platforms in real time.
You're kids will become walking Instagram apps.
Other than my 18 year old (because he's out and about on his own), my kids don't even have cell phones or a computer. I know social media isn't going anywhere, but it's a bane on society and culture. If it ever disappears, maybe reality tv can disappear with it.

They said the same thing about comic books and rock and roll!
