I’ve been saying that since social media came out.

“No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth. And it’s not an American problem — this is not about Russians ads. This is a global problem.”

The big misinformation and mistruth problem comes from Big Media, not social media.

I heard of this facebook thing, never tried it, not sure why anyone would in the first place??

[Old Yeller]

Just take off the social part and its true.

So, Ted Kaczynski was right? Right message, insane message delivery method.

“The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we’ve created are destroying how society works,” he said,

Well stated. I agree.

It isn’t the tool that makes the wielder corrupt.

It isn’t the gun that kills.

It isn’t the software that is corrupting society.

I use social media to stay in much closer contact with my extended family then I ever would have otherwise. I am able to share and receive photos, updates, etc much quicker than via other means.

Every tool can be misused - just like a gun, knife, printing press can be misused - so can social media.

[Angels27]

I have to agree. Social Media is the worst thing to happen to society. Another tool the left uses to convert the masses to their side

Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man by Marshall McLuhan.

A book that I read in 1968. Has paid dividends ever since.
