We don't need to ban anything. We just need to use technology to reduce their returns on investment as much as possible. Make it unprofitable to run ads. Lack of advertiser profits will put an end to social media and its friends.

So what you're saying is if we use ad blocking technology to kill off the advertising business model, we can also kill off social media and its addictive algorithms, clickbaiting sites that generate and monetize outrage and numerous other cancers on society that the advertisers enable.
Ad blocking is now a moral imperative.
