No, social media is NOT 'connecting us more accurately to the real state of things'. Most people are getting drip fed curated content to 'influence' them, which has a very different agenda to accuracy regarding real things. Also most people are not selecting real things, they are selecting entertainment. If you had just said connecting to real things, agreed that sometimes it is, plus a lot of false things, plus heaps of fantasy/entertainment. But when you said its connecting us more accurately to the real state of things, well thats just false. Accuracy in echo chambers that create information bubbles as socmed systems do is simply impossible, then the fact these systems are used to influence not inform makes them produce highly distorted minds.
