facebook has been cited as a leading cause of divorces, and probably would be for suicides if it wasn't such a boomer realm the days (instagram probably fills the gap). they ran psychological tests on unsuspecting users to see if flooding their timelines with bad news lead them to feel bad (it did). so long as the population keeps increasing at a rate that out matches the suicide rate of it's users they won't change a fucking thing.
