Social media has fragmented human society

It's a tedious repetition of "Gilded Age"-era corruption, not something new.

Not everything is about social media and "those damned kids, and their phones!".

no one is talking about kids and their phones here. That is a different problem.

When OP said "social media has fragmented human society", kids and their phones are implicitly part of that. The vast majority of social media activity is phone-based and much has been written about how kids today conduct so much of their lives online and on screens instead of in person.

Yes but that is not this topic. The problem is narratives posted by bots and misinformation completely destroying our society.

What do kids on their phone have to do with society being fragmented?
