Is it propelling us to act in any meaningful way? I don't consider voting meaningful, mind you. If the soldiers come and you know they are coming in advance, what exactly changes? Do we have the means to fight them? Does knowing in advance really make a difference? I doubt the soviet peasants would have been able to resist the oligarch-funded revolutionaries even if they had a head start.And yes, moderation and responsible use is important. But tools aren't neutral, even if designed to be. But social media is not even in that category. It was specifically designed for irresponsible and immoderate use - from the colors of notifications to the endless scrolling wall. This is not conjecture, it is now admitted (and sometimes regretted) by its designers.</blockquote>
