[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 349830, member: 35"] Misinformation and noise can be found in [I][B]all[/B][/I] media. Cable news outlets are notorious misinformation and noise outlets, yet they fear monger about social media. The fact that sitting politicians regularly use Twitter to reach their constituents speaks to why it's become a necessity IMO. We have a generation (Gen Z) who've grown up entirely on the Internet, and that will be true of all future generations as well. How likely are they to consume print or television media over social media? I feel like some people are short sighted. The shift to digital media is only going to grow, while other forms of media will be phased out. TV and especially print media won't be around forever. It's acceptable if you believe Twitter [B][I]deserves[/I][/B] to be a private business. That changes if you believe it should become a public utility like the telephone. Also, a "private business" shouldn't be making decisions at the behest of the government. The government didn't tell the bakery owner to refuse service to gay couples, but they definitely told Twitter who and what to censor. It's gotten to the point where the mainstream media brazenly asks politicians why they aren't forcing social media sites to [I][B]censor more, [/B][/I]which led to a sitting Congressman saying he would like to if not for the restrictions of the first amendment. The days of being censored for shouting "the king sucks!" are supposed to be behind us. That said, I'm not "astonished" that the government tries to control the narrative by any means necessary. That's nothing new. However, I do find it extremely troubling and disgusting. The same goes for the hypocrisy of regular folks who support censorship, but only when it's used against people they hate. [/QUOTE]
