One of the most chilling effects of Tech x Group Thinking is mob justice and unguarded, unchecked, supression and oppression of those who present contrary views. Twitter is a cesspool of this since it provides a warm incubation chamber with ability to block those who challenge. It resonates uncontrollably as the ripples spread within hours. Not enough time for the press or institutional assessment. Take an example of Timrit Gibru[1]. Whether you agree or not, she seems to be completely and utterly glued to Twitter. She posts so frequent, at the time of writing this post, her last tweet was 5 minutes old. She tweets every few minutes in her waking hours. Vile, contemptful tweets of her agenda and rallying up support for her unchallenged arguments. Over 100k followers. These people are out there to aggressively spread their influence bypassing press, bypassing their counter parts and ramming through without challenge. I am afraid, this is going to get worse unless we institutionalize professional journalism again, with deep analysis of the issues and present both sides of the view, and allow public comments. The society is like putty, it can be shaped and formed by those in power, we've just provided them with a massive Tech steamroller that flattens any bumps. I understand Parler and other fringe social media platforms and how they can be damaging to the society. I am equally concerned of this slow motion political-correctness-mob-justice culture that will be impossible to evade. I want to go back to old days to be honest. Handing over press amplification to individuals is a shit idea. I want proper institutions and journals to present content in long form with citations of their sources. Imagine if we get rid of Science journals and just let researchers tweet their experimental results. No one challenging their claims, no peer review, nothing. That's what press has become now-a-days.
