I found it interesting because they were interviewing former managers and engineers of google, facebook, twitter etc. They were not saying "This is the cause because X and Y.". Often they were not even able to formulate the "problem" with social media. Because it is not that black and white.

Well, obviously. Part of the story is that in fact a bunch of white men in their mid-to-late-20s were directing how the lives of billions are affected, just by designing notifications and apps.
Addiction plays a big role here, and the fact, that many people in the industry never seemed to care about how addictive software can be.

No need to force racism in. These companies are multiracial in the US and similar companies exists in other nations with other races.
