The social media companies (FB and Twitter) in particular seem to care nothing about the quality of their service otherwise they would be working to keep fake news and astroturfing campaigns off their platforms. I find that weird, or at least telling about how they feel about their relationship to users of the platform (yes I know 'the user is the product'). The lack of ethics need not be narrowed to a lack of patriotism as the lack of ethics is a problem globally for these companies. A sick individual could seriously fuck up any community through disinformation with enough time and resources. FB and Twitter are fully engaged enabling advertisers and care nothing about the messaging, content, or end result of any campaign as long as they get a hit off the impact.
