Adult Children & Caregivers - Social Media Addiction In Seniors

Experiences with older adults and social media addiction? My name is Jessica Lucas. I'm a reporter working with New York Magazine. You can see my previous work here: www.jesslucaswrites.com I'm currently writing a story on "Ipad Parents": the first generation of elderly people to enter their golden years with unfettered access to the internet and social media. I'm trying to focus on how this is impacting them, and how it is impacting the adult children who are often caring for them. Obviously a big cross-over between my story and your community is Q-Anon beliefs, social media addiction, and conspiracy theory rabbit holes, which really seem to be impacting the older generation. I'm looking for people to talk to that have experience with this. I've found a few via posts on this sub and have reached out, but felt a call out would be best in this case. Feel free to slide into my DMs if this sounds like you and you're willing and able to chat about it (or leave a comment here and I'll slide into yours). I know this stuff can be difficult and sensitive to discuss so understand many people may not want to chat. Just trying my luck.
