The phones are also designed to be addictive. My Dad is a brilliant guy with a PhD, had a great career, etc. Now he's retired and he spends ALL his time on Facebook. He doesn't help my Mom with anything. He can hardly set down tech to play with his grandchild. It really captures some people completely, even smart people.
I've never done Facebook, but from what I've seen there's probably an AI that takes in everything you post, then manipulates you with marketing and "non-existing in real life" bots.
Just post a few random hot-button keywords ("abortion", "Islamic", etc.) without any verbs and watch them come out of the woodwork.

There is no "probably" about that, it is a well known, established fact. You would be flabbergasted to read about what farcebook was doing with Ai to identify, and deliberately target emotionally vulnerable kids to advertise products that sell well towards people in emotionally distressed states. It's absolutely abhorrent marketing.

I think you are completely right. The amount of nonconsensual human experimentation Facebook has ADMITTED to is already damning.

I abandoned phone gaming a decade ago, and strictly use my phone for texting, weather checking, and as an alarm clock; Nothing else.
I use mine to talk to people.
It can do that? Ahoy, ahoy!
Your example is about Facebook, not the phone. The phone is a device. It's what you put on it that matters.
