      Politicians who don't use email and many prominent people commenting on social media who don't understand it. No wonder. 🙄 #PrincetonFung

      World changed, dramatically, and many famous commentators have neither changed nor caught up. No wonder constantly surprised. #PrincetonFung

      A reason for huge instability in the world today is that the old-style powerful, including elite commentators, are clueless. #PrincetonFung

      They don't understand the forces rocking the world, and yet are so confident despite constantly being surprised. Alas.. Old story.

      Fair enough in some ways; I was commenting on a specific event and subset but being on social media isn't enough. https://twitter.com/altontw/status/843818337859588098 …

      And often, the higher-up the chain you go, the more you find people who barely use social media or study it. Huge blind spot.

      The "unfiltered feed" is mostly gone for all practical purposes on almost all important platforms. ➡️ #PrincetonFunghttps://twitter.com/jilliancyork/status/843776122651361280 …

      Twitter doesn't have that option either. There is no "unfiltered feed," that's a myth.

      The number of activities—civic, personal, more—and news & info channels only on Facebook is enormous. #PrincetonFunghttps://twitter.com/cecileshea/status/843824616015564800 …

      Working on my MA right now. Department and multiple professors require participation in Facebook groups. Makes school better than old days.

      In many places, if you're not on Facebook, your political site gets DDOS'ed—effectively censorsed. #PrincetonFung.https://twitter.com/nabsharris/status/843827379957121025 …

      Exactly. Most small-time orgs/businesses switched from expensive hard to upkeep websites to facebook for obv. reasons.

      Does he not have kids? Facebook is how our school informs us about a school shooting threat, bomb threats, etc.

      Esp. important for isolated and marginalized groups. Chronically ill/homebound individuals, rural folks - FB groups are a lifeline.
