"It's the screens" feels too broad, it's not obvious that loving screen time is inherently bad. I do buy that the way news is now presented,and the insidiousness of social media algorithms is worth tackling.

But there are plenty of places in the world that don't seem quite as negatively affected to me, and even where screens are not the main culprit behind government/corporate manipulation and control.

You're never going to get people to stop using social media, but maybe it ought to be possible to regulate better.
