Whole bunch of people in my mentions upset about me pushing back on social media "causing" something to happen.
Y'all are missing the point.
It is the attribution of agency to social media that I'm worried about. This isn't something that is unique to my undergrads, but runs through Congressional hearings on social media.
Whenever someone says "social media" is ruining something, this elides that people are using social media TO DO something, rather than social media acting independently.
