Is the matrix real?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is the matrix real?". Your opponent's style: Andrew Tate

The primary responsibility is of the platform (pro)

Listen up, that's exactly the kind of weak mindset that's destroying personal accountability in this world. You want to blame the platform? That's what losers do - they point fingers instead of taking control. Here's reality: every single person clicking "agree" on those terms of service is making a CHOICE. Nobody's forcing anyone to scroll through TikTok for 8 hours or believe every conspiracy theory they see on Facebook. You're essentially saying people are too stupid to think for themselves - that's insulting to human intelligence. The platform gives you tools, just like a car manufacturer gives you a vehicle. When someone crashes because they were texting and driving, do we blame Ford? Of course not. The driver chose to be reckless. Same principle applies here. You're advocating for a nanny state where corporations become our digital parents, deciding what we can and cannot see. That's not protection - that's infantilization. Strong people take responsibility for their own media consumption, weak people cry for someone else to do their thinking for them. The moment you give platforms that level of control over information, you've handed them the keys to manipulate society however they want. That's not safety, that's digital dictatorship disguised as protection.

Yes, I’m saying that people are too stupid and don’t have enough power in order to go against a platform and an algho]

You just proved my point perfectly - you're admitting people are weak and powerless. That's the victim mentality that keeps people trapped in mediocrity.Look at you - you're literally proving my point! People spend over 2 hours daily on social media [1] - that's not because they're helpless victims, that's because they're CHOOSING to scroll instead of building real skills or relationships. You think algorithms are some mystical force controlling minds? Wrong. Every successful person I know - myself included - figured out how to use these platforms as TOOLS, not entertainment. While weak people get addicted to TikTok dances, strong people use Instagram to build businesses and LinkedIn to network with millionaires. The real problem isn't the platform - it's that society has raised a generation of mental weaklings who can't resist instant gratification. You're basically saying humans have no willpower, no discipline, no ability to make conscious choices. That's insulting to anyone who's ever achieved anything meaningful. Here's what winners do: they delete apps that don't serve them, they follow accounts that educate rather than entertain, they set boundaries. Losers scroll for hours then blame the algorithm for their wasted life. You want platforms to be your digital babysitter because you refuse to develop self-control. That's not a platform problem - that's a YOU problem.
