No. I am a fashion designer by trade and I buy a lot of clothing for inspiration from sellers on Instagram and Facebook. I don’t talk with a lot of people on social media, and if even let my partner log into my FB/Insta if he’d like.
I don’t think social media makes people stupid. It reveals people who are already stupid. You get to choose how you use social media. You can pretty much curate all the content you see, with a few exceptions on ads and promotions.
no there's quite a body of research on the subject, it MAKES you stupid. it damages your ability to think critically, to hear alternate arguments, it creates echo chambers and rewards extremist thinking
i am a counter terrorism specialist and I'm well trained in watching people go down the rabbit hole to radicalization and it is made so much more common nowadays. I don't think democracy can survive social media
here is a non exhaustive list but enough to see if you're interested
Social media use is comparable to drugs and excessive use of it does damage your critical thinking skills and decision making abilities www.addictioncenter.com/.../
There is something called the media contagion effect that causes people to copy the crimes they see in media. in the 1980s the media contagion effect was causing teenagers to commit suicide in record numbers because they wanted attention and saw all the other teen victims on TV and said "i want to be remembered like that" www.ensani.ir/.../...8%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86.pdf It also plays a large part in mass shootings which is why we avoid saying the name or showing the face of the shooter nowadays. as media is shared more regularly the media contagion effect becomes more of a problem. People emulate the violent things they see on social media to get the same attention.
Don't. This is a red flag. First sign of an abusive/controlling personality. It starts with social media. Then it goes to cutting out friends. Then family. Then comes the financial abuse. Then mental. Then emotional. And eventually physical abuse. Take it from a survivor.
I would break it off with her. Not because I don't have social media and therefore nothing to comply with but because of ultimatums in the first place.
Wouldn't surprise me if your ex is a narcissist. She wants to hop to another cock without problems, but doesn't want you to move on with your life and find someone else through social media
No and my partner wouldn't ask me to. I wouldn't date anyone who would try to control me like that

No, that's a major red flag for me of a controlling partner, and if they even suggested it I'd tell them straight away that I don't want to see them again, no matter how hot they were or how much I had been into them.

No.. I would see it as him leaving me because I am on social media. He cannot be that into me if that is his choice..

I would not. It sounds like this person wants to control you. To me it's a red flag.
Also DANGEROUS. Cutting a person off from others is a well documented tactic of abusers.
i would encourage any girl to delete her social media, it makes people stupid and dramatic. got rid of mine years ago
but i don't think i would require her to do so... but maybe if it became a problem

Interesting. Where can I find this research?

No chance. I'm not a cuck willing to roll over like that. If she wants me, she accepts that I might have social media. I delete it when I want to.
Unless I was addicted to it (like I was on it literally all the time) and they were trying to help me out I wouldn't.
I barely use social media but I'd take that sort of demand as a red flag of possible controlling behavior.
yeah, I'm 17 and I tried to don't get attached to any kind of social media. so it will probably be easy to sacrifice it for a good relationship

I don't see why not. I don't get on them often enough to care. Long I can keep snapchat and facebook messenger to chat with friends.
Nope. I have a FB page to help connect to my diverse family and friends. Wouldn’t expect anyone to want me to delete it.
I would break it off with her. Not because I don't have social media and therefore nothing to comply with but because of ultimatums in the first place.
Nope. An ex had me do that despite knowing she was about to break up with me,
Wouldn't surprise me if your ex is a narcissist. She wants to hop to another cock without problems, but doesn't want you to move on with your life and find someone else through social media
@TruthBringer: You’re almost certainly right.
And she did monitor other social media to see if I had a new girlfriend. I found out from someone that she did this.

Nope. I don’t use social media a lot to begin with. If he’s telling me to delete it, I would just feel he’s too insecure to handle a relationship.
I would not. Since many of my shipmates are still in the Navy and overseas, Facebook is the only way I have to keep in touch with them.
Does one want to live in the real world or the fake online world.
I would delete it mam, but I won't be fully happy in the relationship then because I will always feel she didn't trusted me enough.
This here gag is the closest I come to a social media account so that would be pretty easy
