Excellent article, Fred I sure recognize your description of what we are facing online today! Grateful I was born and raised before the internet because I still have the capacity to think for myself and recognize a lot of the noise — ok, I prefer to say bullshite!
On a side note, it will be interesting to see what transpires with France investigating that stinking Elon Musk.

Debra, you nailed it.
Those of us who grew up pre-internet still have a built-in BS detector.
We learned to read faces… tone… body language… not just glowing rectangles.
So when a thousand fake accounts suddenly “rage” in perfect unison, it smells off immediately.
Most younger folks don’t even realize half the crowd they’re arguing with isn’t human.
It’s like getting into a shouting match with a vending machine.
And yeah… watching Elon Musk get side-eyed by France is going to be interesting.
Governments are finally waking up to the fact that a handful of tech moguls basically control the world’s conversation.
That’s not “free speech.”
That’s a privately owned megaphone.
About time somebody started asking hard questions.
Appreciate you being here... and keeping that old-school common sense alive. 👍
