> It's crazy that all the things we considered the worst of dystopia in the 80's, thinking nobody would be stupid enough to do, and that those societies in SF books were only distant fictions, are things we are actively seeking now

I pick social media being regulated into becoming healthy for everyone so it doesn't have to be banned for teenagers.
