I am sitting here and thinking. What will world look like when traditional media (newspapers) are gone forever (extinct), and our communication lies in hands of few people (like owners of social media platforms and other media outlets). How will the bitter truth which may not be very rosy for such companies be able to reach such a massive population reach, when they control how the information flow.
I see a dark future.
- vertex-four 10y agoIt will look... perhaps surprisingly similar to how it does today? It's not like there's not already companies and organisations shaping narratives, not-so-subtly influencing how we discuss the problems affecting us and our world. It's not that they ban people from talking about anything - they just don't give people a mainstream platform to spread their views unless their views are agreeable and mainstream (and usually profitable).
