I think we can all agree that we have a social media problem.
- anm89 6y agoPeople communicating openly and freely over the internet doesn't seem like much of a problem to me. The one thing he does get right IMO is that if you want to make real progress on this stuff you have to dig into root causes. The fact that people are rightfully distrustful of institutions isn't Facebook's fault and. It can't be solved by censoring Facebook.
- happytoexplain 6y ago>communicating openly and freely over the internet doesn't seem like much of a problem This is an oversimplification. Communication is the foundation for nearly 100% of all events - good, evil, and neutral. It doesn't make sense to just call it good or bad as part of an argument.
- anm89 6y agoRight, the communication is the problem, not the medium. We don't yell at at phone line operators because nazis have cell phones and we shouldn't.
- koheripbal 6y agoSocial Media has a specific format that encourages bubbles, extremism, and mob-type behaviors. We need to design social media better to eliminate these tendencies.
- eternalban 6y agoI don’t agree. We have a ‘Centralized Control of Social Media’ Problem.
