- qrbLPHiKpiux 7y agoSocial media takes anyone’s message right to the bottom - the end user - with no editorial gatekeeper. Today’s problems with tech aren’t tech. They’re all human problems. People forgot and don’t know how to sort through bullshit. If people really rely on Facebook to form opinions, then go vote, America, we have a problem.
