What bubble do you think I'm in?  Really curious.

Agreed but on aggregate I'm not sure the good outweighs the bad when it comes to social media.

For what its worth, Tamas, I fully agree with you. Without modern camera phones and social media to share said video footage, the FBI/ICE/DHS would have had a monopoly on the "truth" and the legacy media would have just accepted their version and aired/published/reported on it. Probably word for word like they do with most police and government statements. Passive voice and all.

No I don't think anyone is claiming that. I think the claim is that even as we know, social media manipulation undermines the power of that knowledge.

It could be wrong though.

And another 85 million that did not vote and thus tacitly supported Trump or at the very least thought he was more acceptable than getting off the couch.

The two killings. Are you all claiming that we as the general public would have seen evidence of what has happened, without social media? (or the easy cross-connectivity technology provides, if you will, but that is not detachable from social media as it's the same phenomenon).

A local example, when North Carolina had its ICE surge members of several local social media groups were reporting on and tracking ICE's activities.  Shortly after this started they were flooded by new accounts shouting them down and attacking them for being un-American.  Just about all of those groups either shut down, became private or declared that politics could no longer be discussed on them.

You're the one from the country with government thugs executing people in the street.

It's a bit rich to castigate other people for what you imagine they'd do one day, when your people is actually doing it right now.
