We understand that social media is an essential part of today’s world. But the price we pay for its misuse has become oppressive. Nations are outlawing TikTok. Facebook is used to start/facilitate riots. Note the recent New York City riot where play stations were supposedly being distributed free. Mayhem ensued. Nut jobs are telling gullible readers to eat laundry detergent. One lady asked if eating detergent was OK while she was breastfeeding. And teenagers are being told that the latest fad is “bedding” meaning that they should stay in bed all day and do nothing. This is happening and while it is not a serious threat it demonstrates a test for whatever the dark world wants to try next. Terrorists using coded messages organize events, mass murderers brag about their planning, false news reports feed biases. And all this is happening BEFORE Artificial Intelligence is perfected. Imagine the harm that an AI generated message will cause when impressionable minds (some with weapons) react to some totally false account or occurrence. We need to address this NOW before daily mass shootings become HOURLY mass shootings.
