GREAT! Social network BLACK MARKET is alive and well creating billions of bots/fake accounts/stealing identities! R U a PAWN?

Apparently there are companies that are doing nothing but that. Flooding Twitter and Facebook with mind-bending crap to control the folks who are devoted to them. These folks retweet and thus spread the lies worldwide and don't even realize they are mere pawns/tools/puppets whose strings are being pulled for a price.  So it ain't only hostile foreign powers like RUSSIA that are sabotaging truth. It's anyone anywhere who has the knowledge of how to trap the GULLIBLES into believing them and having them do the heavy lifting by forwarding crap tweets. You still  trust Twitter? You still  believe all those tweets that shore up what you want to believe? You still retweet and forward and spread the manure around to fertilize lies? You still have faith that what YOU believe to be true is absolutely true because a twit tweeted you and who would lie to you, con you, spam you, trick you, make a fool of you?  SIGH.

    I will have no part of any presence on Social Media. It is getting worse. If ever there were a earthbound realm of peril before, none has ever had nearly the reach nor the pitfalls of Facebook, Twitter and the like. A real-time, worldwide, target-rich playground for scam artists, predators and deviants of every stripe and hue.

    Any of the valid or enriching purposes Social media may serve, now or in the future, may be compromised by the onslaught of the sinister and the stupid. This post was edited by Don Barzini at January 30, 2018 4:42 AM MST

    I'm a "me too" Don. You couldn't PAY me enough to join  Twitter or Facebook or any other such death trap for the mind/brain/intellect. The members are all sitting ducks..in a confined shooting gallery...with zillions billions jillions of fake everythings out there polluting/shaping/reconfiguring/pretzelizing their brains. They are such easy targets to manipulate. They get crap fake info 24/7 and forward it and it spreads. A zillion times a day. They are "best buds" with bots and imposters and feel ever-so-smart for getting all the "truth"! It is pathetic but it is also very dangerous. They will never admit they are being played by folks much smarter than they are. I think we're doomed. Every day they WILLINGLY drink more poison and look forward to it. What do you do with people like that? Thank you for your reply. Internet monsters they be. Twitter/Facebook will be the death of us. :(

    I agree entirely. If not the death of us, at least a definable source of our grief.

    Indeed. Figurative death and literal death aren't that far apart and they seem to be getting closer. Thank you for your reply Don! :)
