I’m glad you asked, where do I start? Facebook + Cambridge Analytica => Brexit. Mass manipulation. Giving every idiot a megaphone to spit out idiot ideas. Even worse, give them a place to meet other idiots with the same idiot ideas. Cyverbullying causing damage to the self image of teenagers everywhere. Instagram + pedo rings. Twitter is nothing than a palce for far right meet and greet, nowadays. Promoting every idiot who fancy themselves an influencer.
The only good thing it ever contributedwas when people organised protests during the Arab spring through social media. But now, the corporations are blocking access to their platforms at the behest of the governments.
Social media is F-ing garbage, let it die. I am however terrified of the next trend that will take its place…
Google can go suck on a lemon!
