Double standards social media, COVID Conundrum

article image placeholderCOVID Politics & Debate
Okay, so this is a bit of a confession and a question. So perhaps COVID has turned me into a political troll. So a little bit of background. I've never spoken publicly about politics my entire life. And when I've been well, except for the last year since social media, I was on Twitter 2007. So I used my personal account to an attempt to try to hold our politicians accountable for their spin doctrine and inaccurate information, and I was pretty persistent with it

How do we enter into public debate or dialogue when it’s so easy to get someone banned or blocked in social media?

Gmail issue and confirmation bias @MerelyHuman

And then I started going to the Twitter app on my iphone. And yeah, sure enough, it worked. I had to log in, but that's fine. Now everything's working again. It's really freaky confirmation bias. I've been seeing so much information out there, different speculation people are doing. Then suddenly you see something happen and you go and the mind connects all these dots that probably have no business being connected. So I just think that's very interesting
