People love to bitch and moan about free speech, but at the end of the day, companies get scolded by politicians for allowing information warfare to occur, and at the same time for disallowing information warfare when it doesn't suit a specific party in power.
When the government fails to protect its population from information warfare, because it engages in it, it's time the businesses stepped up.
This is the new digital battlefield. Wars will be fought by trying to destabilize and influence people's opinions through information consuming mediums.
Social media is a cancer, because it allows external parties, through ads, to fight for and steal your attention and time, and in the process influence your decisions and perspective of specific topics and issues to suit their agenda.
