Social media is about de-socializing mankind by making them believe that digital information exchange equals a social life. That's a crucial part of transhumanism, which aims to literally replace human interaction with the natural world with the digital world, to make them totally dependent to a fully controlled environment. They took a huge hit when Zuckerberg failed to get VR to the mainstream, for which he was punished.
I think wev'e been taken for a ride.
It's larger than that tho. The red pill process from the Matrix (or even earlier) to wikileaks, Snowden, the truther movement, the fappening, Q-Anon, pizzagate etc. are most likely all information given to us to create an enlightenment arc in history to create confusion as well as resistance for yet another big kill off event, because they once again require another "end" to start another "phoenix out of the ashes" era; a new beginning.
