We're going to see the same kind of thing we saw with the tobacco industry - CEOs claiming they had no idea the product was engineering to be addictive. I have even less faith that this anyone will hold anybody accountable though.

"I smoke weed to get high, it's not the weed that gets me high"

"Social media is addicting, it's not the social media that makes it addictive."
