if you're into meditation, you'll probably enjoy this piece a lot.
if you're not into it, or you plan on responding below in a way that suggests you didn't read the article -- you'll appear somewhat as proof of what the article contends. but even if you don't meditate or even spend time on social media, you'll completely understand the weird physical feeling you get from a disturbing thought (a remembrance of a past embarrassment, for example), and the similar feeling you get when you are hit with a tweet (or whatever) that irks you.
the analogy fits: the feelings arising from thinking a troubling thought are almost no different than the feelings arising from reading an upsetting tweet.
the conclusion is to operate social media the same way you monitor your own thoughts - which is to examine what the thought might actually be, and then disarm and discard it. which is what one does often in meditation.

Sending sympathies to Kat Timpf and family in this sad time. My mother in law used to say ‘hug yourself’ if we were apart in a tough time. Hug yourself, Kat, and your husband, baby and family. 💔
@KatTimpf
Kat, we love you. I can't imagine your pain.
I just know there are millions of us who love you, know you're incredibly strong and know your dad is so proud of you while watching from Heaven.
Your mom and dad are up there holding hands and laughing with each other and bragging about what wonderful daughters they raised.
My prayers for your family.
