We could specify further, and make it clear we are talking about "digital social media"

Each digital social medium is different. Not all of it is spyware, that's just the profitable, corporate stuff where a lot of users are. Of course, not being spyware doesn't make something wholly secure either

I think these things are good for a laugh (memes) and good for communication. I like things that allow for anonymous communication, incidentally, as well as group communication. There's really not much else to say that's positive, though. They are psychically bad for us, making our lives worse, hooking us to a sad dopamine-for-novelty-and-numbers habit
