It's difficult to discuss this. Facebook on paper is useful and technically marvelous. Society and humanity can certainly benefit from it. The problem is that certain types of people - irrespective of intent - are poison to other people. The problem is that we can be our own worst enemy. How can we build a social platform and protect the users from each other? To protect the users from themselves? Especially when the steps necessary might be diametrically opposed to the bottom line. No idea. I wonder if it's even possible to devise such a system. I believe the real problem is in us. It is not just the fact that poisonous users exist. We should be immune. We aren't because we lack the self-awareness and lack the courage to break free from these platforms when/if they become unmanageable. We should be mindful of others. We are taught to celebrate freedom, but when have we celebrated sensitivity and mindfulness of others?
