Jennifer Aniston has expressed her disdain for social media and its exploitative effects, saying: “It has taken down a huge portion of humanity.”

Aniston was speaking to Harper’s Bazaar to coincide with a new season of The Morning Show, the TV series in which she plays a TV presenter opposite Reese Witherspoon. Aniston, who has been the target of media and online gossip for decades, was withering in her criticism, saying: “I’m sure the guys who came up with [social media] thought it was a great idea and, yeah, congratulations on your billions, but it has taken down a huge portion of humanity.”
