The problem of platforms when they become big. Just like cyber criminals lurk on systems used by the mass to exploit. Things can be used for good and for bad. And its often the small portion of bad that ruins it for large majority. Just like the few football hooligans that screw things up for the rest.

Bad intend or behavior is just hard to manage in a free online world. If Elon is hated then Adrian will take over....

I remember there was a time on the internet where "Don't feed the trolls" and "True story, read it on the internet" was a thing. Would be nice if they were a thing again. Even in this thread, obvious trolls are being engaged and motivated to spew their filth.

The tragic irony of boomers is they told all their kids “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” and then failed to internalize the lesson for themselves.

This applies to any age group though so I don't understand why you are pointing the finger in a particular direction. It's not really helpful or insightful in the context of the thread.

Because they were the generation teaching the first group of kids growing up with the internet and they were actually very right to tell us that. Their role is unique. The generation matters. There’s your insight.
