“Utah Governor Spencer Cox called the Internet a “cancer” yesterday; today, “cancer probably isn’t a strong enough word,” likening social media to “fentanyl” in destroying young minds and taking lives:
“We have seen an escalation in violence that has been happening across the country. … I don’t think a governor, I don’t think a president, and I don’t think anyone can change the trajectory of this. It truly is about every single one of us.
And I can’t emphasize enough the damage that social media and the Internet is doing to all of us. Those dopamine hits. These companies, trillion dollar market caps and the most powerful companies in the history of the world have figured out how to hack our brains, get us addicted to the outrage which is the same type of dopamine, the same chemical that you get from taking fentanyl and get us addicted to outrage and getting us to hate each other.
I’ve seen it in real time since the death of Charlie Kirk. I’ve seen it in every corner of our society. The conflict entrepreneurs are taking advantage of us and we are losing our agency, and we have to take that back. We have to turn it off, and do you have to give it back to the community and caring about our neighbors and bettering ourselves, exercising, sleeping and all of these things that this thing takes away from us.”

@n_dimension Oh yikes, thats not my conclusion, I needed to quote that better (fixed now)… I wasn’t drawing any conclusions, i was just sharing the full quote. I know thats the end goal for them. Utah actually already has some kind of laws in place but i believe its only for “pornography” (so far).
