Sorry!

Carry on! GAB BIG AND GOOD! Twiter BAD!

Ad hominem start to your rebuttal? Weak.


Talk about an epic level denial of reality. The left does NOT dominate every sphere of politics. They dominate the MEDIA. Do you even talk.lol and not understand the whole point of the JQ is that they control the media? Yet your suggestion is to USE the media they control against them? you really think that they will allow that to happen?


Who exactly should do this? You want to regulate free speech? What regulations would you like to instill? You can't legislate positive actions, you can only restrict actions. (Example, you can't legislate me to DO something, you can only legislate something i CAN'T do. inb4 "mandatory insurance" - courts killing that or it refers to restricting another activity unless you do x,y,or z. it still goes back to restricting actions.) So, how does one legislate or regulate social media? The only way is to declare it equivalent to a traditional public forum, and that would require courts to rule on. And even then, it would require monopoly power. Which means that gab growing is taking away that argument that twitter is so ubiquitous that it would be a traditional public forum.


Constipated thinking and a strawman. Questioning why you do not NEED something to survive and pretending it doesn't exist are two different things, yet you chose to claim they are the same. Why?


Non-sequitor, but i would wager those people are a lot happier and live more fulfilling lives than those who did. See "Amish". See "homesteaders." See "homeschoolers." I also dont see how knowing the newest dance or knowing which minor celebrity pooped on which minor celebrity's bed makes you more aware of "society", it just makes you more aware of pop culture.

I wish you would have addressed my question as to why we NEED social media, rather than just slamming my post using non-sequitors, strawmen, and ad hominems. But you do you, pal.

Yeah, I know about BBS's, newsgroups, early website based internet platforms like Prodigy and Compuserve (which spawned AOL, pleasde kill me), followed by actual website based interactions like the aforementioned Yahoo! groups, and even early forums like About.com or Delphi. I lived it. Still some good forums out there, niche, for products and activities - woodworking forums, DIY, Jeep modifications, tool and die, boating maintenance, etc.

So, I guess it's a fair point that social media existed more than 10 years ago in early forms. I would state that the change I am mentioning is more based on the use of the smartphone, and the mobility and constant connection to socvial media at all points in the day, not just when you have everyone in the house not using the landline and you can dial in without someone in the home picking up the receiver and dropping your connection.

At that point, social media took on a whole new level of invasiveness and ubiquity. I suppose I would clarify and restate my contention with that caveat - Social media as an ubiquitous and invasive medium - thanks to your correct summary of events.

By giving advice, or finding that advice? because I have hard copies of these items. They are generally available for 41 or less at any discount book store, and they are available in droves.
