Social media is optional. You don't have to use it. I don't.

But not letting other people send messages over the internet through platforms created for the purpose because you don't like it is a special level of heavy-handed dictating.

Smoking is optional. Guns are optional. Nukes are optional. Still needs to be regulated. How long before society accepts that damage is being caused by mobile phones and social media?

There's a big difference between personal social media like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc and topical discussion sites like HN.

I'm sure GP meant the former.
