It used to be that the wicked operated in the shadows. Now they brazenly post or livestream their deeds on social media: Sex acts with minors. Babies being aborted. Murder of spouses. Cannibals eating human limbs. Special-needs kids being tortured. And other abominations.

Article notes the onset of other media, but fails to note the evils depicted by those. Pornography has long been the prime motive for adoption of new media among the masses.

My, what do YOU follow on social media? Doesn’t sound like what I’m seeing.

I think the earf itself is the playground of the devil. Anti-social media is just the newest sandbox.

I’m curious. Is FR considered social media or is it something very different? A news forum without the social media stigma perhaps?

FR is a news forum.

FR is social media. There is nothing inherently wrong with social media, it’s the content that you choose to write and read that matters.

That’s the problem with arguments like the lead article: evil content is the result of choosing evil; you don’t have to choose evil - it’s not the media that matters, it’s the content you choose.

I have been on FB since about 2008 and have never seen anything like that. The most useless things I see are pictures of the looney libs. I just hide those. They do not enrich my life in any way.

For me I think the difference is anonymity, at least for most FR users. The social media stuff seems to be between real life friends, family and distant strangers all knowing each other’s real identity. I’m glad it passed me by, I think it changes the way you think. Nothing good seems to come from it, we didn’t develop with these capabilities. I think it is a huge reason the teen suicide rate among girls is so high. I guess bullying among young girls is very common with this stuff. And with every phone being an internet connected video recorder the porn/exploitation capabilities went through the roof, creating even more broken damaged people.

Some people are just in need of LOTS of attention.

If you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull$#1t. Seems to apply.

That’s the thing: you don’t see such content if you don’t associate with people who post such content.

Here’s an interesting question.

Is all sin demonic?

Are we born perfect and corrupted by the devil every second of every day.

What is the origin of sin?
