It\u2019s horrendous that they\u2019re designed to be so addictive. Some of us have more addictive personalities than others. It\u2019s evil,\u201d Allen added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allen also told the outlet about how she doesn\u2019t like how the internet has made \u201cevery comment indelible and intractable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1717170739895000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1Ps3XbgPF2rL6bDpL8t5Cu\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s unnatural.
