I think the main takeaway was the influence on children. I don't think there's precedent for providing kids with constant access to dopamine-driven, socially adjacent experiences. At least with TV and video games, they're finite activities with time limits (hopefully).

Yet giving a pre-teen a phone where they're constantly being spammed with addictive content is dangerous. I can't even imagine all the psychological and developmental implications.

In terms of adults being addicted to apps and their data being used for ad-targeting...eh. User beware. I think we have bigger issues facing us.
