    ...institutions through "FreeSpeech" for #HateSpeech and. "#AlternativeFacts".

    The US film maker and storyteller #MatthewCooke, phrased it:

    👉 "Should Society Own its Social Media"?

    IMHO: OFC!!!👈 :

    ... polarisation de la société, détruisant la cohésion sociale et les consensus, voire détruisant la #Vérité et sapant les institutions démocratiques par le biais de la « liberté d'expression » pour les #Discours de haine et les « #FaitsAlternatifs ».

    Le cinéaste et conteur américain #MatthewCooke l'a formulé ainsi :

    👉 « La société devrait-elle être propriétaire de ses réseaux sociaux ? »

    ...and the #GreatDepression.

    Listening to #MatthewCooke's American Origin Stories finally convinced me that all #US institutions were set up chiefly to protect the "landed gentry." #Billionaires are the new #aristocracy, and they are not benign. In a #feudal society, #fealty was rewarded by the feudal lord. Today, everyone is just a disposable "input factor."
    We live in a virtually global #plutocracy.
    This must be remedied.
    Back to 70-90% income-tax...
