I would be extremely happy for the world. It would do wonders for our ability to socialise, concentrate and be present in the real world. Social media is deliberately designed to constantly distract and manipulate us and waste our time, and it doesn't even enable meaningful communication and social contact. In fact, it does the exact opposite. I've just been reading a book, Stolen Focus by Johann Hari, which advocates banning it outright. That sounds extreme, but it's probably what needs to happen.
