Social Media is cancer

The biggest is problem is the governance that the networks have over your data. Taking it and then doing whatever the like with it. Projects like Sylo (check my post history) have a goal and an already working product to help take back our dependence on the main networks.

For once, I agree with a billionaire.  

So because people die in car crashes, cars shouldn't be made any more, right? I think his argument is faulty. Even before the advent of social media were there no fake news? Did people and junk news paper publications not spread rumours?

Then what should we do? Hide our data? As far as i know the countries that have been doing this were only china,russia,North korea and USA,
 Most of the third world countries has no interest in doing such so. You were right and it is not facebook that you should be afraid of but instead watch and be careful in giving your data to google

The difference is social media is not passive, it is interactive and real time. It is literally changing every aspect of our lives, and in many ways allowing top down centralized manipulation and control of the population scalable down to a very granular level. I don't think anyone has any concept of how dangerous this can really be. What started as a platform for free expression, communication, and free enterprise has been turned into a global interconnected tumor of censorship, mobbing, and monopolistic thuggery.
