When you go on Twitter you see that Labour voters have a viscous, nasty streak in them. Unpleasant people
Bet you're pleased that prisoners can't vote. They must all be Labour supporters. ;)

I do wonder where social media is going. Can you imagine a campaign say 30 years ago like the modern ones?

Anybody can say anything they want and facts are really out the window nowadays. It's just a question of hitting hot buttons and deflecting the truth.

I wonder whether social media should require people should do a KYC or something so that people can be held accountable for comments they make. Or at least make an attempt to verify a person. It just doesn't seem like it's headed for a good place.

I can see why people say democracy is under threat from these platforms. Maybe I'm just getting old :lol:
Twitter-World is the perfect exemplar of a self-entitled, narcissistic society where the noisiest and most verbally aggressive people now create the news by means of denigrating, shouting down and accusing of intolerance, ignorance or hatred anyone who disagrees, even silently, with even their most lunatic-fringe of ideas.

The age of reasoned debate and open discussion has gone and I'd imagine it'll get far worse before it gets even remotely better.

It 'feels' like that. The markets shoudn't be doing this really as there is little information to discount.
