I never understood that point too. It shows quite some cognitive decline in the users mind. Searching for 20 minutes is now too much even if your privacy depends on it. I suspect also this was a well planted thinking point by the social media conglomerates.

Indeed a lot of social media platforms are used by foreign powers to create discord. Human psychology is much more attentive to negative messages and this is too easy to weaponize. A solution against that would probably be world changing. It would have to preserve anonymity still of course.
