Think about it. Jobs gave a voice to every idiot on the planet. We wouldn’t be here had the smartphone remained a tool for business types or a toy for nerds.

I would love to know what those middle panels are.
People are saying Facebook, but really it’s the introduction of the algorithm controlling your feed instead of a chronological feed. It wasn’t just Facebook that did that, they all did.
Facebook groups, echo chambers, leniency on hate speech, propaganda, Cambridge Analytica, people ushering in right wing extremism by their own volition, Brexit, Green Deal opposition, war in Ukraine, lunatic in the White House, there’s a lot of stuff that happened because the smartphone was used as a channel for manipulation. At least the pandemic would have happened anyway, but vaccination rates would have probably been higher without everyone having easy, unrestricted access to the internet.
One of those fuckers is Facebook.
