EN: However, the biggest problem on social media is not young people, but unscrupulous platforms and their business models, which inevitably cause collateral damage. As well as the numerous adults who spread hate, propaganda and disinformation on these platforms, offer drugs for sale, prey on minors, bully, incite hatred and spew vitriol.

Das größte Problem im sozialen Netz sind aber ohnehin nicht Jugendliche, sondern skrupellos agierende Plattformen und deren Geschäftsmodelle, die absolut zwangsläufig Kollateralschäden erzeugen.

"'Choking' infant Juan Nicolás at ICE's family detention center near San Antonio 'rushed' to hospital
Juan Nicolás and his mother have been detained at the center for nearly a month, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said in a Monday update. According to Castro, the infant has been consistently sick throughout his detention, vomiting and exhibiting respiratory issues. He is the facility's youngest detainee
(. . .)
The facility currently holds more than 1,400 people including infants and toddlers, the Texas Tribune reports. Opened in December 2014 under the Obama Administration, the detention center is an hour outside San Antonio. It's the subject of allegations of civil rights abuses against detained migrants, according to court documents.
In early February, the facility came under fire after doctors sounded the alarm on a measles outbreak among those detained within the facility. Dr. Lee C. Rogers, chief of podiatric medicine and surgery at UT Health San Antonio, said the outbreak was a 'public health emergency' and called for 'an immediate, unified command-and-control of the measles outbreak.'"

On top of that, the richest asshole on Earth is openly promoting it. Furthermore, policymakers continue to endorse his platform by using it as their main communication channel.
This is not only unreasonable, but also morally outrageous.
