The power of social media - good, bad or ugly..

And should we actually put in safety measures for things like this happening? Or I'm really curious as to see whether we talk about this as a good thing or a bad thing. I just want to discuss it to start a discussion on this because this is a very Gray area, right? Using the the the the the power of social media actually derail a huge event

Trump’s rally gets punked by Tik Tok teens. Social media power..

This is a good question. And, you know, I've given this a lot of thought myself. I think the net effect of social media is more positive. I'm 52 years old. So I grew up in a time where there was no social media. And just looking back on those times, it was possible to manufacture stars back then, more so than it is today with social media

And as a result, as is there, like, kind of going down and to make things worse, you have what you call Vulture funds or people in investment companies were invested in taking these local news media and then breaking them apart and then selling them for just making money. In other words, Hasan Minaj is just pointing out, like how there is a systemic decline of reliable sources for good entry information, news information

I see a lot of these topics being circulated around in WhatsApp group and WhatsApp group has been used very highly over here, and you can see one instant message can be forwarded into four or even ten similar website groups. But the main problem is that you don't know later that some people are trying to create fake news using their fake accounts, fake posters. And this somehow creates an uneasy and people are getting worried whether are you forwarding the right message, the truth or the fake ones

And that's one thing in America we're not doing right now is we're not giving people chances to if we don't like them, we're short changing them or finding something. I don't believe in that because that's just cheating. That would be like if I went in and Joe Biden did something or whoever the presidential person was and short changed them that way. And I think that the teams that did that should have to pay for those seats because I don't care who you are
