I have no doubt in my mind that it is addictive.
And I am also a Viroga youth leader to a group of young people who we specialise in tech.
And I am forever explaining to them,
be careful of what you do online, don't stay online.
Trying to persuade for a tech club, it's very unusual.
I'm trying to persuade them to spend less time online, but when they do, do it in a mindful way.
And I think that's a very difficult challenge.
And I'm sure Simon has similar challenges at play because you kind of have to accept that young people are going to use social media today.
But how do we teach them to use it in a responsible way?
And then the other side of the coin is, I often think we talk about young people an awful lot and the dangers around social media for young people today.
But an aspect of social media that we don't talk about an awful lot is the dangers of social media for older people who have not been familiar with the use of social media and are now presented with this amazing screen and these algorithms to go down.
And I think it is an absolute disaster.
Anybody who has an older person in their life who uses social media knows you have to warn them to come and check with you to fact check information.
You may have to reset their algorithm several times because they've gone down a rabbit hole.
It's an extremely difficult space to be.
So it's not just young people we have to be mindful of.
Why are you agreeing it's a disaster?
