Social media was unleashed onto the world with no harm studies or thought for the long term impact.

Now we’re catching up and realizing how bad it is.

For a similar case, see tasers in Canada after a handcuffed immigrant was killed by one. The question came up “how were tasers certified safe for humans?”. The answer was “they weren’t. A private company just started selling them to police forces who just started using them.”

Tasers are bad is your example? cops should go back to clubbing people over the head I suppose? - Remember all metaphors are bad.
