Pt. 3

The lack of a centralized reality creates a disharmonious truth. With our own personalized algorithms, we no longer share one reality. This helps push false narratives, create blind obedience, and is one authoritarian and other forms of govnt use. We are weaker living in our own Truman Shows.

Pt 2.

Lies spread 6 times faster than the truth on social media. See above note.

The "Friends of Friends" features on social media are the big reason hate groups grow so quickly. People are more inclined to believe "facts" if they come from a friend of a friend.

I'm bad at remembering what I've read. This is a brief reminder of my major takeaways from Ressa's memoir:

If a post makes you feel angry, hateful or fearful, it is designed to do so. These are the 3 elements to make a post go viral. Take a breath before you react and let it affect you.

Recommend Maria goes into the relationship between social media (spc. Facebook), the attack on authentic journalism & the rise of illiberal, democratically elected authoritarian govnts. Set in the Philippines, who most embraced social media early on & how it became a tool for covert populous control
