Yes, social media is undermining democracy
Could it be that social media is giving us a glimpse of what unfettered (direct) democracy actually looks like?There are at least a couple flaws in this viewpoint: that social media is mostly controlled by a privileged few, and with enough resources an individual can gain more votes (if you consider an account as a vote). But social media is basically letting everyone have a voice in the conversation, and the result is kind of gross sometimes.In other words, maybe its undermining our current system by actually being more technically democratic.
