No it’s not, this is propaganda. If Facebook/Twitter wanted to tomorrow they could limit stuff in your feed to people you know IRL. This would take less than 1 sprint for top tier engineers with the right access to implement and ship.
They’re only dangerous because the real problem is social media’s hypergrowth strategies are incompatible with policies that are good for society.
Any suggestion otherwise is like oil companies encouraging end users to recycle.
