"Major social media companies" in my opinion shouldn't exist. ICQ and old Skype were major enough.
Your posts reads like my ex-military uncle's rants when we talk about censorship, mass repressions, dissenters' executions and so on.
These instruments can be used solely against rapists, thieves, murderers and so on. Usually they are not, because most (neurotypical) of us are apes and want power. That's why major social media shouldn't exist.
But major social media companies do exist. If your real point was that they shouldn’t, you should have said that upfront.
No, I don't think so. My real point was the one I described which is the same as that they shouldn't exist. And any true statement is the same as all other true statements in an interconnected world. That's a bit abstract, but saying what others "should" do is both stupid and rude.
Buddy, if anyone’s being stupid and rude in this exchange, it’s not me.
It sounds like the interconnected world you’re referring to is entirely in your own head, with logic that you’re not able or willing to share with others.
Even if I accepted that you were right - and I don’t accept that, to be clear - your statements would still be nonsensical given that you’re making them without any effort to clarify why you think them. That makes me think you don’t understand why you think them - and if you don’t understand why you think something, how can you be so confident that you’re correct?
You seem to think proving anything to you has any effect on the world, it doesn't
No, I don’t think anything you do has any bearing on reality, period.
