Not really. It's easy to stay informed without social media.

Seriously you DON'T need it. Thatsjust conditioning. Take it from an old guy who's seen that play book.

Get em while theyre young and you'll defend em till the end.

Its the same technique sports teams and terrorists use

Wich us why older people were the target of smear campaigns regarding tech. We who grew up without it know that we don't need it.

Companies don't want that secret out.

Without social media, we wouldn't have real on the ground reporting, and we wouldn't have the most documented "live streamed" genocide.

This is what you missed by being in your old man bubble: https://tiktokgenocide.com/

Not that you care, you called me a bigot for saying America funds genocides.
