I have appreciated FaceBook and am so disappointed it has become destructive to security and democracy. I have recovered many lost friends there. Now I rarely go on FB. I can recognize false info posts – some of the time.
I was encouraged by the opinion article from WIRED. Especially to read: “Technology products do not need to be dangerous. The tech industry used to empower the people who used its products. It can do so again. The Biden administration has an opportunity to change incentives. It can put the tech industry back on a productive course, as an engine of growth and empowerment.” There is a way for law to put it in order!
