Idk about Harris and the FANG guard, but he's right in that way, that we should compare lets say twitter to radio, if a big national radio (who everyone knows of (that's the important part), and has access to it) can change the information flow, they are in charge. Even when there are thousand other radios (lets say a Alaskan Country-radio) who is absolutely honest about what they report they will not be heard...and even when..should you trust that little radio-station or the only source of truth (the big radio)?
- byhemechi 6y agoas far as I can tell as an outsider, all US media is strictly partisan so even if twitter was a broadcaster and not social media it wouldn't be outside the norm, even more centrist than radio and TV.

That automatically centrist steering is exactly the problem with social networks, your get in to your bubble, and everyone else is your tribes enemy. But sure that happens on traditional media too...i can remember we someone said something against invading Irak (2003?), they got nearly hanged by the crowd. Even Bush said "be with us or against us", but the whole invasion was based on a single lie (that sadam has some C-Wapons) but that was forgotten, retaliation was the main thing.
