<font face="Tahoma">So we are reviewing our flow data, and it's very
clear, on our network, that during the period Facebook were
experiencing their global outage, Netflix traffic went up 3X for
us.<br>
<br>
The psychological assessment of this, for me, is most interesting;
especially because like carbohydrates, social media addiction does
not create "medically immediate" mental harm, unlike other
addictions such as cocaine, heroine, crystal meth, LSD, alcohol,
e.t.c., which governments and the medical fraternity are quick to
label as "dangerous to human health due to their addictive
properties".<br>
<br>
Could Netflix, perhaps, play a part in mitigating the increasing
impact of social media addiction in teenagers, whose young brains
aren't developed enough to have sufficient executive control,
impulse control and good judgement?<br>
