Freelance journalists, adjunct professors, and anonymous posters are not a unique threat. They are one of many threats. Nearly every person on Earth has their own tailored infinite black mirror. The mechanisms of the medium encourage it. The idea that social media was ever not sectarian is silly. | ||||||||||||||

When I hear "freelance journalists, adjunct professors, and anonymous posters" the first word I think of is "democracy", not "threat". The idea that anybody gets to say whatever they want is how you have a free society. Treat those people like threats and you have authoritarianism. Whether the end result is left tyranny or right tyranny, I don't want it. | ||||||||||||||
