I don't think there's anything in particular which is wrong with that at a micro scale, but at a macro scale when literally billions of people are being subtly influenced without realizing it by powers that may have no interest in the truth... I think there's a lot that can go wrong with that. I believe it was in Myanmar where everyone uses facebook and started getting news from there and anti-Muslim voices spread messages of hate which tinged the entire nation against Muslims and caused acts of violence. That's a lot more sinister than the mindless passing of time.
