Facebook has become the latest company that everyone loves to hate, and internal documents stolen by an employee have become an opening to blame the social-media giant for America’s ills. The company has made mistakes, but it’s worth sorting the genuine issues from the opportunism of politicians looking to censor opponents.
Both were on display Tuesday as Frances Haugen, the former employee who leaked the documents, testified on Capitol Hill. One of her legitimate concerns is Facebook’s negative influence on the mental health of teenagers. It’s no surprise to parents that teens are emotionally fragile and especially vulnerable to peer and celebrity influences.

opinion Teens have always had mental health problems. Many have the “I’m always right syndrome”.
opinion Perhaps. But the willfully exploitative and manipulative nature of these social media giants doesn’t help either.
opinion Facebook will never be able to satisfy all people all the time! For some vaccination against Covid is best ever but for some it’s invasion of privacy/freedom! Self control/responsibility is not essential! Parental responsibility is delegated to Facebook!

opinion Thinking back to when this headline was “Teens’ exploitation in the labor market is a problem that can’t be solved by government.” Government is us, it is parents, it is a mechanism by which we address large problems. Why is this so hard to understand?
opinion Wireless COMSAT communications is described metaphorically as the'antiChrist' in the Bible. We each need a 'bird' to control data feed!

opinion Ah the tried and true ‘guns don’t kill, people do’ argument.
opinion Typical conservative response to a problem. 'Deal with your problems yourself. Also, here's a bunch of legislation that will cause problems down the road. You can deal with those on your own, too.'
opinion And here comes the right in the toxic war
opinion I reject the GQP’s continuing effort to gut the government so that oligarchs can rule us all unfettered. Breaking up FB is something the government should do.

opinion Everything can be solved by government! Just make the politicians all powerful and the problems will be over!
opinion Sounds like the same approach you take on the country's raging gun control problem. Just wrong.
opinion Neither can the mental health problems of adults! However, in both cases the government can be part of a constructive solution.
opinion Many parents can’t cope themselves. Empowering adults who attack the US Capitol, threaten teachers and school board members, threaten doctors and nurses treating COVID-19 is unacceptable. Many parents are not rational enough nowadays. Zuckerberg dines w/ the far right. sad
