re: #154 Belafon

I think too few people take this into account. All facebook and twitter did was shrink the space between people. Most people don’t pay that much attenion to the news. And what they hear from other people probably registers as important because why would someone else bring it up.

It’s all double edged. I don’t crap on FB and Twitter. I think in the abstract they’re both excellent tools but tools can be abused. I don’t hate newspaper or radio because Julius Streicher and Joseph Goebells abused them in the Nazi era. There does need to be some regulation of social media but what that is, that’s tough to determine since social media isn’t and nor do I think is something you should need a license for.
