The main problem is that social media is designed to make money for social media companies. So they allow and encourage the kind of usage that keeps people on the platform, as that lets them collect more data, show more ads, etc. Nothing keeps people more interested than conflicts, scandals, or conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, they censor pictures of breastfeeding "for the good of the children".
