America exported mass shootings and online fascism. Holy shit, that is a hot take.
"The question facing us now is whether the current model of information dissemination in our society is workable in the long term, or whether it will destroy us. We have abandoned the traditional gatekeepers—news networks and magazines and newspapers—in favor of Silicon Valley profit machines whose only metric is engagement and clicks, whose nihilism towards the truth and the impact of misinformation mirrors the 8chan trolls. The average person is not equipped to vet all the information they are bombarded with on a daily basis now, whether because they have not been trained to or because of the sheer volume of it. If you throw someone in an incomprehensibly massive library, where most of the books are full of crap and some percentage of that is Nazi propaganda, you will not like the results."
What a faggot, making it about how sad it is that newspapers are dying. Jesus Christ.
The lunatic left truly are scared that they didn't lock down the internet like China did, to squash freedom of speech when they had the chance when it first started up. And that Hillary lost, denying them their chance to go full Thousand Year Reich and copy/paste China's internet censorship tactics onto our internet.
