Author Freya India said social media platforms are exploiting young girls and turning women into products. She spoke at the ARC Conference in London. India stated that social media consumes young girls' lives and that the market intrudes on age-old experiences.
She listed examples including how young women get used to their appearance, their first crush, and their first heartbreak. She added that these events now play out on social media platforms. India said older generations do not realize that the online environment has become the real world for young women.
"Everything feels commodified and cheap," India said. "Everything is happening on their smartphones, and it's a very different way of existing than previous generations. " India said the shift marks a departure from how previous generations experienced the same milestones.
