I agree much with your premise here. The capabilities that social media have provided are extremely valuable.
That said, I disagree with your conclusion. The issues that have come from Facebook and others are due to centralization, commodification of user data, the proliferation of echo chambers and advertising. Universal accessibility isn't the culprit, although that has generated issues on it's own as well.
- vertexFarm 8y agoJust out of curiosity, what capabilities do you think are extremely valuable? This isn't an attack or anything, I ask with sincerity.
- mAEStro-paNDa 8y agoThis part could go with some rephrasing. Otherwise, first thing to come to mind is Twitter. Connecting directly to journalists and representatives, current events as they unfold in real-time, seem invaluable to me. Despite being in the era of the tweeting POTUS, and one where trust in the media is at a low, this still appears to be a net positive capability.
