But we're not talking about "social media" in broad terms, we're talking specifically about Facebook's pivot towards smaller community and group building, per: > The strategy that Facebook has been pivoting towards is in favor of smaller community building, rather than the "mass market square" approach, which is why: It's great that people have the ability to form groups with like-minded people, that's how the Internet worked before Facebook, and it sounds like there's some reversion to that. The fact that it can also be used by "fringe groups", is just another way of saying "I don't want normal people to have nice things because people I don't like also have those nice things", but the world has always worked that way (see: Nazis and the radio). Bad people have existed for forever, and it's up to the laws we make that protect life & liberty to ensure that their impact on the world is limited, not limiting our our communication tools and hope that by 2nd order effect we prevent the people we don't like from having a voice (which is itself pretty dystopian).
