    The book doesn’t end when Galadriel declines the ring. Personal restraint isn’t enough. The ring must be cast into a pit of fire, so that no one else can ever abuse the terrible power it bestows. Which is quite an analogy to apply to your platform, right? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/07/technology/facebook-trump-2020.html …pic.twitter.com/RyQrIjP30C

        Yes but this true of literally and anecdotally to just one ring. All the other rings can just be discarded. Suppose it’s about finding your one ring. Great tweet!

        No, the other rings were transitive to the one ring. When the one ring was destroyed, so too were the others.

        Tech bro dude has clearly only seen the movie. 🤦‍♀️ That implies that FB is the one ring and ignores that G already had a ring of power. Plus, the Fellowship totally used all the tools at their disposal. Friendship, bravery, loyalty—and weapons. Sting among them.

        ...and he misspelled Galadriel so his point is invalid anyway.
