    This all applies to disabled kids (and adults, of course) too, especially those who are unable to leave the house or otherwise struggle with in person interaction (and who would often be left completely isolated without virtual communication)…

    People love to shit on social media, when actually they should be shitting on the rich and powerful who use it to manipulate society, not those using it looking to connect to others…
