Its the Guardian, almost by definition it's wrong. It's written by ultra woke feminists for ultra woke feminists. On the few occasions they open an article up for comments, if they cant think of a counter argument, you'll get banned for mentioning any facts which contradict their narrative. The problem with social media is twatter, they should remove the like button and ban all comments which are less than 15 lines of rational argument. It's the lack of nuance in tweets which makes it a collection of sound bites. Facebook is for the over 50s no one uses it.

>Before social media
>consumers care about nothing, watch cheap entertainment and occasionally follow the spectacle of the week
>After social media
>consumer care about nothing, watch cheap entertainment and occasionally follow the spectacle of the week
>the spectacle of the week is now no longer solely in the hands of various media conglomerates
>screeching ensures
The spectacle always outshines anything substantive, "buhuhu FACEBOOK!" is the warcry of increasingly irrelevant people who can't compete with some rando cutting up 4minutes of footage to be mildly entertaining

>When people envision technology overtaking society, many think of The Terminator and bulletproof robots. Or Big Brother in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, a symbol of external, omnipotent oppression.

But in all likelihood, dystopian technology will not strong-arm us. Instead, we’ll unwittingly submit ourselves to a devil’s bargain: freely trade our subconscious preferences for memes, our social cohesion for instant connection, and the truth for what we want to hear.

Indeed, as former insiders at Google, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube attest in our new documentary, The Social Dilemma, this is already happening. We already live in a version of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World

Wait isn't the guardian one of these shitlib rags that has called everyone far right conspiracy theorists for the last 5 years for saying this? Aren't these the fucking imbeciles trying to play the role of ministry of truth gaslighting everyone?

Guardian is still better than Daily Mail which people seriously quote from time to time.

Yes.
There is no real solution, banning social media would just push people to use VPN's and more obscure sites which in turn makes the problem worse and the people in charge benefit from weakening of society and rise of communism so they won't act.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race is essentially how it is.Humans simply didn't evolve into the society we have which makes them more miserable and less functional as technology progresses but opting out of technology isn't an option because you will be beaten by people using technology (on individual and society level).

He's just following the be overdramatic about social media. It's pretty much a nonissue. If it's a problem then press alt f4.
