This is equivalent to saying the world is full of evil and pain, the world should not exist. I don't understand why you think the world was better before Faceb

  Except, Facebook is nothing like the world. I'm legitimately concerned Americans don't realize how incredibly perfect Facebook is for hijacking the democratic process. It's actually frightening to watch how it's being used. Yes it's affecting all countries and democracies but looking at where America was pre 2016 to now, it's really quite tragic.

    this makes very little sense to me, when I first came to America I could hear conservatives constantly complaining that the media has a very heavy liberal bias. Media constantly denied it obviously. Now with Facebook and social networks conservatives have their own information distribution system which cannot be controlled by the mainstream media, so the obvious criticism is "hijacking of the democratic process".

      Think about it though, you can build a network with fake accounts or even just through a concerted effort to to do and spread disinformation, conspiracy theories and hate, polarise a nation and influence elections. It’s social networks weaponised and it’s absolutely beautiful by design, convenient, free and here is the real kicker? It’s completely legal and largely unregulated !!! By the way, I’m not on either political side here but are you trying to say I’m sticking up for republicans ?
