Not so sure- this is a text book example to stay away from "social media".
IME, it has not been around long enough to evaluate its long term damage?
...the short term damage is clearly evident and should be sufficient for a thorough condemnation by anyone older than say 6mos.
Imagine if 20 years ago the government mandated that you were required to wear a device that allowed tracking of your wearabouts at all times.

Political parties in this country have been monitoring the political views of people since well before the World_Wide_Wank 'came' along.I mean they monitored Socrates, nailed him, and then Plato distorted him to minimise his impact on people's thinking.
The Onion manages to be very funny sometimes, but this skits a bit longggg, eh!?
Humour is a natural or 'emergent property' of human activity systems, and, the jokes, nicknames etc - say in a work place, work. Because people hear them and say "yeah! That's true (and FUNNY)!"
Of course they aren't funny to the target or their acolytes, or to the supporters of a creaky flawed system! Which most human activity systems are.
A good example might be my nickname for our CO LtCol. Hamilton Harvey-Sutton, back in the 1970s. He already had two nicknames; TwoDads and H2S.
The one I thought up? You'll have to ask.
Jokes and nicknames spread in the same way as infections, hence 'infectious laughter!' The science of statistics developed the S-curve which graphs such processes.
Hmm, so science might just manage to be a humanities subject! ?

Although, they say that many a truth is spoken in jest. We've been warned virtually since the invention of the internet to be very careful what we put on line.

Did you check out the predictive sentences? After about 50 random sentences starting with Aardvark, the next one is "Abortion went well." There are a lot of little nuggets in that video.
