I believe, with nothing to back this up, that social media would be improved with a better educated population. One that knows and values the basic tenets of critical thinking and debate. No amount of policing will make people smarter or more courteous. People have to choose to be more civil and be more interested in views counter to their own.
>If you have power, you have responsibility: full fucking stop.
No, if you have power you get to decide the rule.
Same as drunk driving, the reason we are not allowing driving while drunk is because the people who are against drunk driving has more power than the people who are pro drunk driving. The side that has more power get to decide what the law is.
Dictators are responsible for the death of millions, even if they make laws that say otherwise.
>Dictators are responsible for the death of millions.
The Dictators very well may believe that their action is the proper responsibility (According to him).
My point is you can't simply ask them to stop by telling them they have responsibility. Both side may view responsibility differently.
The idea that it's okay to be a selfish child with power is tantamount to allowing driving while drunk. Power is deadly, you can just as easily crush a persons life as you could their legs with a car. Don't drive drunk, don't be in power if you can't be a responsible citizen about it.
