That is a big worry. I cant believe the shit I read on twitter from both sides. Yes they are nobodies and maybe even bots but still. I might be in the minority, but I think net/net, social media is a net negative for society. People say things on there they would never say to people in person. I see quite a bit of rage, hatred, and flat out buckets full of lies and distortions.

AI is only make it all worse and adding fuel to an already out of control 4 alarm fire. I used to think another civil war was a pipe dream but I am not so sure anymore.

It is also being used by groups like the Proud Boys to organize election fraud and possible violence. No doubt there are left-wing efforts as well but, as in 2020, most of the violence-promotion is coming from the right. I've copied a link to a NY Times article about this but it's behind a pay wall so here's a copy of the first few paragraphs....
"Groups backing former President Donald J. Trump recently sent messages to organize poll watchers to be ready to dispute votes in Democratic areas. Some posted images of armed men standing up for their rights to recruit for their cause. Others spread conspiracy theories that anything less than a Trump victory on Tuesday would be a miscarriage of justice worthy of revolt.

“The day is fast approaching when fence sitting will no longer be possible,” read one post from an Ohio chapter of the Proud Boys, the far-right organization that was instrumental in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. “You will either stand with the resistance or take a knee and willingly accept the yoke of tyranny and oppression.”

The messages were all posted on Telegram, the lightly moderated social media platform with nearly one billion users, which has become a harbinger of the potential actions and chaos that could unfold on Election Day and after. More so than other social apps, Telegram is a prime organizing tool for extremists, who have a tendency to turn digital coordination into real-world action.

A New York Times analysis of more than one million messages across nearly 50 Telegram channels with over 500,000 members found a sprawling and interconnected movement intended to question the credibility of the presidential election, interfere with the voting process and potentially dispute the outcome. Nearly every channel reviewed by The Times was created after the 2020 election, highlighting the growth and increased sophistication of the election denialism movement."
Now cue up the righty whiners....
