What are some things about social media that people aren’t realizing?

[Anonymous]

The ease with which one can influence using social media.

Most of social media is filled with fake news. They are hidden behind "freedom of speech" regulation. And it is ridiculously easy to come with an algorithm that can identify individuals who are susceptible to change their opinion. And then show them targeted posts/ads that will change their mind.

This might not have been news to many. But what people might not understand, is that this is so easy to build that in almost everything that you surf online, these things come into play. Heck, even Ashley Madison site was conspired to have manipulated people into thinking that cheating is acceptable or that their partner maybe cheating already.

Even on this website GaG, a trained professional can spot such things. For most site however, the goal is simple. Get more audience and get them to spend as much time as possible on their sites. This is sometimes achieved by any means necessary. Until they are stretched to the extent laws can allow them to go.

It's the death of society, but I like it im an introvert. Just it's used to control now from what and how we buy and spend money on, down to what we can think or own personal views are not even free or allowed people are carried on they behaviour from internet with views and want what's impossible so it's used to start civil unrest or wars, globally not just one place.

I think ig will be irrelevant in less than five years and people will start to value authenticity more over random flexing on social media
