I would agree. I think the U.S. election actually did escalate the conversation with the public narrative and discourse around the implications of online speech, hate speech, complex arguments around what people are saying and the implications of that, and then the impact of what people are thinking when they go online. The other side of that is that it tends to show also how hard it is to regulate that speech, right?
This is a very tricky one. I think education is key, but also key is making a link between the grossly oversimplified mechanism for uploading, posting content, and hitting the heart button, etc. There's a huge distance here between that and realizing what the material consequence of it is. Each one of those iterations drives popularity. Every single “like”, “dislike”, or smiley face pushes the ranking of a story. No matter how ugly that story is or how beautiful it is, up it goes.
