It is the Wild West of information dissemination and things like veracity


and ethics no longer apply. Let's face it, a substantial number of people are so damn stupid that they rely on Facebook or other such outlets to inform them, not knowing or caring that much of it is opinion rather than fact.

To a generation heavily invested in social media and with no knowledge of true journalistic practices like research, sourcing, editing, etc. it is not hard to see that they would not understand the concept of censorship either.

God help us.
