"The social media platform is ruining the lives of many adults, who are losing their jobs because of the addition to spending copious amounts of time there. Sadly, it has in fact become as addictive as drugs and alcohol, causing people to fail miserably in life. Yes, we agree that social media is a place for people to connect, but special attention is needed in the area of the distractions and devastations that it is causing in society; along with the problems of inequalities that exists on that platform. There are some groups you can only join based on the residential area of society you live, your remuneration, and job status; this alone proves the existence of inequality. It is indeed a place where people are going though serious depression and loneliness, thinking that the social media can suffice for what they are searching." 1) Referring to the paragraph above, what can be said to rebut this point?
