Facebook under fire after founder says "We knew it was addictive, scrambling kids brains"

FACEBOOK FOUNDER WARNS “GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT IT’S DOING TO KIDS’ BRAINS”
quote:
“The thought process that went into building these applications, Facebook being the first of them, … was all about: ‘How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?'”
“And that means that we need to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while, because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever. And that’s going to get you to contribute more content, and that’s going to get you … more likes and comments.”
“It’s a social-validation feedback loop … exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology.”
“The inventors, creators — it’s me, it’s Mark [Zuckerberg], it’s Kevin Systrom on Instagram, it’s all of these people — understood this consciously. And we did it anyway.”
A recent study is out that says it's having a negative effect on the brains of kids.
Ran a search for the story this is the link that popped up

I hope they are prepared to go after casino gaming, video games, and just about every other industry that takes "advantage" of this psychological truth.

So studies no longer matter. I thought you were a science guy.

This was a solid episode of Black Mirror from last season.

Being anti-social I was never able to get into social media. Just seemed counter productive.
