      Everyone hoping to gain admission to the cultural elite must now strenuously cultivate their social media so as to avoid controversy. Eventually they will internalize controversy-avoidance as a virtue, not a societal imposition. Result: a more boring, conformist elite culture

      For many, total shunning of social media isn’t an option. You must “engage” in order to be in good standing. But you must engage in a carefully-managed, risk-averse fashion. Hence the rise of soft, fuzzy corporate authoritarianism which is already ubiquitous: will only get worse

          The more overbearing this monoculture gets, the more people will revolt against it: even as they're increasingly unable to express their resentments in public. Quite a nasty paradox we've constructed for ourselves. (Also an ideal condition for extremism/conspiracies to flourish)

          This seems so eerily similar to what my Romanian friends described as their time growing up in communist Romania.

          You cannot help but author has a well known journalist of the @nytimes in mind. The worst participants on Twitter IMO been liberals or those who assume to be one in South Africa or elsewhere. Intolerance other liberals like Libby Huysamer pointed out years ago in full glare.

          You don't have to be a slave to social media at any level of your career, anyone that thinks you do is not doing life correctly imo. Be strong, take a stand, troll people on twitter and delete your facebook. You'll still make money, trust me.

          The Left heard the whistles then. Will the rest now see, Obama did not run on racial justice. He played on seduction. As he had at the Harvard Law Review, he reached the rightwing.

          There's a gap between cultivating an inoffensive SocMed profile (or just not making pro-pedophilia jokes) & corp. authoritarianism, esp. when corps keep giving into SocMed pressure groups. I get your pt, but believe case is overstated. To be fair: twitter limitations, granted.
