Channel 4 news saying facebook is a danger to democracy ..Is it?
I believe our normal TV media stations are more of a danger to democracy than facebook..
They spread PROPAGANDA tv stations ..
My vote goes by the way my area is acting ..Acting all nice like no shootings then good leaders
Loads of shootings and poverty then not even facebook or the media will change my mind..
Any media can manipulate people's opinion (and, as a consequence, their vote), not just Facebook! There are rumours that Facebook is actually owned and controlled by CIA.
I don't know if this is true or not and frankly I don't really care, I use Facebook very sparingly and I do not share what happens to my life easily with strangers.
There are secret lobbies and powerful entities at work to manipulate people (such as the Illuminati, Bilderberg group and the likes), I do believe that to be true.
The problem is not really Facebook, therefore, the problem is that under the excuse of "freedom of expression" anyone can publish anything, even fake news and make it go viral.
THAT would be a problem at that point, not Facebook itself. It could happen anywhere.
