    > When a Netflix drama highlights how online influencers can turn a teenager into a killer, it’s time to rethink social media

    that's quite the reach, and it almost seems like it's trying to paint very valid anti-social media sentiments as some sort of generational hysteria.

    Why is gender involved in this again?

    Ah, the Guardian.

    Where normally it should be data and general journalism that brings these issues to light, but we live in a age now where "reporters" take their “emerging and growing problem” list from Netflix?

    Who is representing who at this point? Are the public involved at all, or is just media companies and other corps versus each other?
