What most people forget about networks like Facebook (or twitter for that matter) is that just a misinformation can spread quickly, corrections of that information can to.<p>What FB have helped with is to make sure that neither newspapers nor politicians will be able to communicate in a vacuum.<p>What we see now is the first steps of a more enlightened society not a dumber one because dissent both gets normalized and much better access to minds it didn&#x27;t before.<p>Of course there is going to be people who think alike or people who only befriend people who think exactly like them. But the second they want to spread their gospel outside their groups they are going to be met with a lot of other perspectives and thats a good thing.
