THE DOCTRINE
SocialMediaPlague is more than a brand; it is a resistance. Founded by Greg Harline, a veteran of the tech industry who witnessed the intentional erosion of human autonomy from the inside, this movement was born from a single, urgent realization: the digital tools we once controlled now control us.
“Social media is fundamentally harmful to human flourishing. We reject the idea that its harms are merely accidental side effects of otherwise healthy systems. We believe the harms are structural.”
Followers are not friends. Physical presence and shared labor outweigh digital numbers. Connection requires a body, not just a profile.
Validation from an algorithm is a hollow substitute for genuine affection. Dopamine is not intimacy.
Where you place your focus is where you place your life. To steal attention is to steal time, which is to steal life itself.
The developing mind is not a sandbox for behavioral engineers. Children are not commodities for data-harvesting.
When software controls the feed, it controls the culture. We refuse to be conditioned by black-box logic.
Systemic exploitation of dopamine loops is the industry standard. Your dependence is their revenue model.
Wisdom requires silence; growth requires boredom. Constant stimulation is a prison for the intellect.
Stop documenting your life and start living it. The quality of an experience is not measured by its shareability.
Meaningful bonds are built through nuance, not notifications. We choose complex reality over simplified digital noise.
