    This is a forum.

    Forums and blogs could be classed as social media, but they predate widespread use of the term, and are fundamentally different from the corporate social platforms.

    It’s the combination of an individualized engagement algorithm and user-generated content that defines modern social media.

      It’s the combination of an individualized engagement algorithm and user-generated content that defines modern social media.

      This is precisely what is supercharging this moral panic, people don’t automatically think critically about this and will bandwagon on social media = bad because it feels righteous and is easy unless WE force a more nuanced conversation.
