A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I cannot believe this has to be said over and over again: It is easy access to guns!
Maybe read the article. What you said doesn't need to be said again in this articles context, because the issue is more complex and that exact point is addressed as a cause.
Yeah, it is more complex. Hence do not put social media in the title. I read the article. It is superficial and scratches the surface.
I reay do not understand what you are trying to tell me buddy, you have added nothing to the discourse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So you want every article on any subject to cover the entire issue holistically? Don't put the focus of the article in the title? Your response doesn't make any sense.
I do not, and you know that. We do not even disagree on the core issue. But here you are, trying to put yourself on a pedestal by reminding everyone to acknowledge the nuances. This is how core issues get diluted, and I am not interested in that. See you on the next thread where you defend "How mouse farts could contribute to climate change".
Yes I know that because it's absurd. But here you and others are arguing that the article needs to be comprehensive.
"I want to see studies on how substantial of an impact this has" is a reasonable critique.
"The author didn't address every possible contributing factor and so I'm going to ignore any possible thoughts the article presents immediately" not so much.
"How mouse farts contribute to climate change" is a hilarious article idea. There are lots of fun directions it could go from serious discussion of how to analyze climate impact from different animals and industries to the mocking of green washing.
