Social Media Is What Is Dividing Us As A Society

Post by Ghostlady »

Everyone needs to watch this documentary. The big tech companies are using social media to control us with fake news and divide us by showing different things to different groups so we no longer know what is true or fake. They are learning about us through our posts and causing our children addictions and further isolating them.

This is a very informative documentary and borders on the doom and gloom aspect of Social Media. It does leave off the other side and that is how it is has helped so many people too. I can tell you much about that living through the flood of Harvey. One example is when there were lots of people stranded and they used facebook to help find them and it saved so many when other first responders were overwhelmed with calls.

Social media can be used for good or evil... right now I'm trending towards more evil than good.

I’ve said before that social media is the devil’s handiwork. I’ll just leave it at that. No, I won’t. I’ll add that any good that comes out of social media is because of good people not using Beezlebub’s tools as they were intended 😈😈😈
