[bamboozled]

I think it has the potential to basically ruin society as we know it, the amount of hysteria, hype, division, lies, distraction and hate it breeds is enormous.

I look at some of the stuff on Reddit, especially some of the right wing stuff, it's actually alarming the stuff people say, and believe on there. I know they are extreme examples but holy shit.

The ability to amplify falsehoods and certain narratives is ridiculous.

I remember reading 1984, and being terrified, some of the stuff I read in online communities makes me at least that scared and worse.
