About this video

Centeno discusses the negative psychological and social impacts of Facebook, arguing that the platform’s design prioritizes data collection and engagement over user wellbeing. He provides seven practical strategies to reduce Facebook’s negative effects—from disabling notifications to deleting the app—and ultimately suggests that quitting Facebook entirely may be the best option for some users.
