Social Media has been terrible for society. I say this as someone who spends considerable time on social media. But it's full impact has only starting to unravel. We have seen nothing yet, the end result of social media, IMO, will be magnitudes of order more ghastly than what we have seen. In developing countries, social media is playing havoc in sowing division among very fragile social order. The kind of forwards, memes, jokes my dad receives from his Whatsapp community is shocking. And at age 75, he has no capacity to distinguish between real and completely made up propaganda. The effects are slowly been realized.
