Social media harms democracy by spreading rumors, survey shows

They also spread the truth as well even when government and media have conspired to obscure it. Social media has led to people beating companies, governments and politicians simply by providing an avenue to share reality. Social media defends democracy and protects democracy. There has always been an enormous power balance issues between the elites and the peasants and social media for the first time is allowing the peasants to speak to each other rather than the only voice being the elites through their media platforms.

My guy… Social media ARE the elites media platforms you Dingus.

They aren’t letting people do shit, they are all censored and monitored to ensure we stay fractured and disengaged
