It's a fair point, Paul. But I'm sure the reason Nicholas replied, and certainly the reason I made my point, is that one runs into this kind of nonsense (and not only on Twitter and other social media) all the time. One encounters it in class--and even in the faculty lounge.
You underestimate how much better social media could be. To me it seems obvious that we're using a PoS version 1 that got frozen early in its development due to a combination of network effects and management turmoil.

My guess is that we'll look back on the current incarnation of social media with horror, and feel sorry for any thoughtful person caught in its toils.

Interesting that social media 1.0 does have some sort of positive reinforcement effect even though it’s so horrible and addictive. Can’t wait for the Larry and Sergey of social media to one up the Yahoo’s we’ve got now.

That is almost exactly my view. It's like yellow journalism phase still. But I think society and the technology will adapt and perfect it. I hope.

That's exactly why we're disagreeing with you on your original tweet. Society needs a better way to handle misinformation. Your suggestion of "just adding criticism" to misinformation is exactly what you're complaining about not working with social media.

Paul, do you think Clubhouse can help to solve some of this? Do you see any social media 2.0 apps out there right now that look promising?

Part of it seems to be that Twitter didn't even understand why they were successful (as they've acknowledged) so they were reluctant to change the formula.

Should be social media platforms on which you can never say mean things about anyone. Children's social media should be restricted to such platforms.

But is that not the entire project - from Twitterverse to the faculty lounge - a radically egalitarian equity project where truth-as-power must be torn down and endlessly redistributed in temple of endless fragilities? For those who designed it, PoS v. 1 seems to be doing its job
