Yeah, I was interested in their analysis of how the social media platforms got blamed for 2016 even though the big news outlets were at least as culpable, if not more so.
I never thought it was fair to lay the blame at social media's feet. Certainly not without blame, but they sit rather at the end of the rope, not the beginning and at least for me this blog post's examination of agency vs. responsibility was alot more satisfying than "free speech they can do what they want checkmate."
