I wonder if social media is a level one or a level two chaotic system, ideas that are separated based on how the system responds to prediction. Level two means that the system responds, but level one, the weather as an example, doesn't respond to prediction. I don't think that it requires a lack of conscience to end up creating a dangerous behemoth in a level two chaotic system. We couldn't have necessarily have known that social media would lead to the ecosystem that we have today. When I look at social media and the advertising ecosystem around it, I feel like the major flaw is the fact that social media companies must get eyes on the page, that they must supply value, and one of the requirements to meet this is that you simply cannot accomplish what is required if information is supplied as a 'dumb pipe' to the users. Users must be convinced that they are part of specific communities while online in order to keep them on site, so the dumb pipe is replaced with a 'feed' of some sort, which is nothing less than human experimentation. I think that twitter does this by building large emotional groups via these quick sharing mechanisms, which isn't necessarily bad, but the fact that everyone is informed of them as they are going on is, again, human experimentation. I think that the social media fix is to reduce all of them to dumb pipes, because anything more than that is a huge risk. They should probably have things that fight spam, but that's a security issue, not a human experimentation one.
