Actually it is, always avoiding responsibility by putting the blame on tools instead of the users that pollute everyone’s timeline is not helping anything. If no one posts these pictures on Pinterest or any other platform then there wouldn’t be any.
I don’t think it is about avoiding responsibility.
Often when people say that some thing is bad, they are talking about the effects of its misuse; and the goal is to reduce / prevent that misuse by persuading other people to change their behaviour. But it is generally easier to persuade someone that their tool is bad rather than they themselves are bad. If they believe the use of the tool is a problem, they may stop using it that way. But they will basically never come to believe that they themselves are the problem.
