I tend to think that the whole Trump/Qanon/antivax things are a scheme by the biggest social media company (you know the one) to identify the most gullible target audience possible for advertisers. You know, "If they buy this, they'll buy anything." You can make a lot of money that way. That said, watch Ryan George play all the parts at a social media party It's a good thing he wears different clothing for each character, and even a sign for one of them. Otherwise you'd never know when the next line is coming from a different character. (via Digg)
The problem is that we demand that the social media corporations "do something" about these problems. Basically we are giving them power to do so, effectively privatizing free speech.
