I think social media algorithms have fried people's brains. Imagine we'd ban them, go back to content being kinda diverse and random, without adversaries able to game the system and push massive swaths of propaganda to people. The fact alone that most youths get their news from freaking TicTok of all places...

If it's propaganda to make people believe the truth, is it bad?

[–] stepan@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Depends who's the arbiter of truth. Still propaganda
