      *This* right here is why previous academic work on "media effects" won't help much to understand the scale and depth of what's going on now.https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/843826444220465152 …

      Yes, everything has antecedents: misinformation, propaganda, etc. But we never had a global peer-to-peer broadcast(ish) mechanism like this.

      We never had such easy ways for political operatives or scammers monetize misinfo this easily—to the scale of hundreds of millions of ppl.

      This isn't media per se; it's also peer-to-peer socialization through a mechanism & scale that never before existed in history like this.

      Wrong theory: new mechanisms bring about entirely new kinds of people. Nope. Drastically changed game is where it's at, not changed players.

      BTW, this is a core thesis in my forthcoming book: to understand change from tech, look at how existing social mechanisms are impacted.

      I don't get how people can see billions connected peer-to-peer but also through centralized platforms in a decade and think "oh, same old."

      Socialization is probably the most important shaper of humanity; baffles me to underplay changes to its mechanisms.https://twitter.com/lamarshall/status/845272149833236480 …

      We need more sociologists to work with media studies folks. The social interaction impact is, as you say, grossly understudied.

      Thank you! I am hoping the Kindle price will go down more; I'm told it should and people will be charged lower price.
