I was super into Russia gate for a hot minute. The thing that finally busted me out of it was when someone finally pointed out to me: "If you think Russia can use platforms like Facebook to influence Elections to that extent....just what kind of influence do you think that Facebook and all these companies have themselves?" Once you start asking those questions it changes your perspective on things pretty quick.
Ooh, that’s a really good way of phrasing it. I also started wondering why Europe doesn’t have any large social media companies of their own, and instead rely on American companies like Facebook.
Oh damn thats an amazing way of putting it
