Initial thought:
Everyone is nudged slightly closer to what they need to live comfortable lives
For people with very low quality of life, their life gets slightly better For people with very high quality of life, their life gets imperceptibly worse (but then also slightly better as the world around them has improved, since they make up such a tiny fraction of people)
"more realistic" thought: The human brain is slightly less prone to addiction - however slight this adjustment needs to be to be considered a small thing.
Less social media addiction, less harmful substance addiction, less sugar addiction, less gambling addiction.
"You are a human too" for all people.
Three more genies.
Social media never happened. It will not happen.
That whole business of brainwashing, of lowest common denominator, of selling yourself for likes - scourge of our times.

Psychologically that would be a desaster. People would wear themselves out in an instant, and in 6 months top we'd have a world population suffering from clinical depression.
would need to be more specific, plenty of evil organisations believe they are working for the greater good (ISIS, Nazis etc)
Abolish politics from social media
Abolish social media, period.
