Privacy, algorithmization of feeds, etc. are important to me but I’m much more afraid of opinions being seeded now, which get turned into votes, which determines the people we elect, which in turns determines the type of policies we enact, which then plays out in 5-20 years, when I’m still alive and also the people who come after me.
For example, we have to deal with the TSA now because of a series of many unfortunate events that transpired since WW1. You can’t go back and undo certain mistakes.
Facebook is unfortunately where a lot of people seem to get their news and that is scary. Primary sources should be people’s news sources.
If not, why not?
I get a general fear of social media. And I am not trying to give anyone a pass. I don't see a distinction, though.
For this thread, though, I'm not sure the negative slant is enough to explain it. There is a ton of negative on most every topic.
