Mark Zuckerberg's recent comments on the impacts of social media appears to hit a nail on its head. He said the idea that Facebook and other companies are aiding and abetting the polarization of societies, particularly in the US, is countered by the observations that the US has been polarized since well before the internet, and in other countries social media doesn't appear to be a polarizing "influence", there is in fact evidence that social media can be "depolarizing"; maybe because in some societies, people with different political ideas can still talk to each other. Maybe what we really see is that in some societies, having an opinion or a political bent somehow needs to be elevated to a position of importance not warranted by evidence. Or much rational thinking, or tolerance, or even questioning what the hell is so important about it.
Federal elections held by States who are not accountable to the Federal government? Constitutional rights to vote being restricted by States who ignore Federal Constitutional Law? The voting Rights Act of 1965 https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=100 Maybe it's time for the Feds to take elections out of the hands of states. If voting is a Right of all registered citizens, then as with Free Speech it cannot be restricted by States, in any way!

i brought the thread back to its topic for you for free (public service, whos waiting to be serviced?) holes n poles party ? are you a hole or a pole ? what level of pole ass a rise sensation are you referring to ? you are saying by omission that mark has not been man enough that only now he is being a "real man" i find that quite interesting that you would support such gender stereo typing intellectualism ideology assigning something owned by mark into a gender stereo type class so you can own it as you change the nature of the act from an equality issue into a stereo typed gender bias support media piece. hhmmm ... food for thought (tends to throw all your threads under the flaming buss)
A vested interest says the most obvious thing in the world, and that's hitting the nail on the head? A reporter↱ recently asked an international political figure from Europe how their country was dealing with Russian disinformation, and the public official responded, in all seriousness, "We have a very good public-education system." The Scandanavian official has a point. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg might describe what social media can be, but that is as common a capitalistic distraction as there is. Certes, there is what something can be, but there is also what it is. Not only is Facebook a place where capitalists have interest in deceiving people, creating new polarization and exacerbating pre-existing disputes, Zuckerberg seems to think this is the way things should be.
Of course it is. Although the nail isn't the only one sticking out. He didn't man up and admit that the capitalist perspective doesn't include "social impact" in the viewscreen; fairly obvious since capitalism operates the same way during wars, military coups, forced deportations or restrictions of civil liberties etc. Why shouldn't it be that way on the internet? Why wouldn't social media turn into platforms of grievance and misinformation? Why are humans so bloody naive? I mean, who can say, really?
he is selling his own cool-aid as a position reinforced by social moral values so the egos are attached to the platform it is used to hoard attention and money(greed process mixed with ego process & narcissistic self validation) facebook is a corporate entity which makes people millions while it makes billions arguably now the biggest company in the world so it will have its religions, zealots, adherents, devout, stoics, mystics, capitalist, liberals, conservatives and every other flavour of human personality social order & dis-order attached to it as an absolute right. it dictates its own morals & laws(thats how big it is) what i see is american republicans wanting to coerce it into a conservative agenda to use it as a sales platform to buy billions in religious voter power from the american conservative right wing however ... it is securely fastened in the liberal centre middle to secure capitalistic principals as absolutes of its moral rights as a defense if not by absolute terms of money process & member interactive absolutes.
are you going to teach him how to be a real man ? who is more manly, socialists or capitalists ? go on mark zuckerberg afra brain pot calling the kettle a black man ? american coward name calling game ... & they wonder why they have such a violent society ... "is there someone i can talk to about how to be a real man" ? & ... "do you charge by the half hour" ?
