The issue here is propaganda is no longer controlled by state-run television and radio.
Whether we like it or not, the mobile Internet inflection point has happened and there's no turning back.
Anyone with basic literacy skills and the economic means to distribute bad information can spread propaganda and incite others on millions of mobile devices instantly.
And if it wasn't distributed on Facebook, the misinformation would most certainly find it's way through other channels (Twitter, Viber, WhatsApp).
- azernik 9y agoBecause Facebook doesn't care enough about certain markets to actually moderate, it means propaganda is no longer controlled by anyone. This is, in practice, extremely dangerous.
