Did social media cause the distrust, or did the distrust already exist and social media simply validated those concerns when they saw many others shared the same concerns?
It is easy to blame this on Facebook or Twitter, it feels neat and concise. The reality is the concerns already existed outside social media, and the medical community and companies were not addressing these concerns adequately.
Hence, we are where we are at now.
- base698 7y agoThe medium is the message. TV news results in news becoming pageant hair, red dresses, and flag waving graphics. TV changed what it meant to be informed and the end state was what we have now. It's easy to see that the social medium will and did change the message. It also changes what it means to be informed, but in a different way than TV did. If we are the media does that mean it changes the form of what it means to be person and social life?
