While I agree with much of the article - the leap from "social media is making tween girls suicidal" to "adults should not be able to determine what information they choose to consume because then they might vote wrong" is a huge one.
If there was a way to mark people who are shills as shills, and bots and bots, the situation would be much more manageable. The fact is that there is intense hybrid war fought on peoples hearts and minds on every possible informational channel.
Do "social media", i.e., so-called "tech" companies, allow adults to determine what information they choose to consume. Pretty sure that no one using Facebook ever requested a "feed", the contents of which are determined by Facebook. The original Facebook did not have a "feed" and people using Facebook were upset when Facebook added one.
[There is something strange about using both the words "determine" and "choose" instead of just one.]
