No matter what social media you use, whether it be Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, TikTok, and for the very few who use LinkedIn, these companies want to own YOUR life.

Before you accuse me of thinking like a conspiracy theorist, hear me out. By now, everyone should know that the algorithm in social media is made to keep you on the application, track your data, and predict your interests.

Social media’s core intentions are to sell; whether they are selling things to you or selling YOU, their goal is to profit by using the US. With every click, we begin to donate our opinions, and they can cater to our desires. When you find yourself fulfilling yourself with something that caters directly towards your desires, it builds this trust in that specific application.

Now we see this evolve. We have found such joy in these applications that are now introducing their regulations that come from their opinion. They swept the rug from underneath us.

Big tech spent years building and building and hooking more and more people to the necessity that is THEIR application. They are now using this necessity as leverage for feeding you and I’s information that they want us to see or don’t want us to see.

Let this be a reminder, even though social media has many pros, do NOT let your trust fall into them for your consumption of facts, because at the end of the day, they want to win you and own you.
