Strict Censorship1 take
Strict censorship is necessary to combat the toxic ideals rampant on social media. When influencers flaunt extravagant lifestyles, it skews reality and sets unrealistic benchmarks for success. This kind of content doesn't just foster jealousy, it also deepens societal divides and pressures young people to chase distractions instead of meaningful goals.

User-Controlled Filters1 take
tbh, user-controlled filters make way more sense than straight-up censorship. let users decide what they wanna see, which helps avoid excessive glam while still keeping the freedom vibe. also, giving people tools to filter out extravagant lifestyles can prevent those comparisons that mess with mental health. plus, it's way easier to implement than asking platforms to figure out what's too extravagant or not.
