Summary | People are writing books about how the internet and social media are the bane of democracy. Social media have however not created a new genre of bullying and hate lanuguage (just a new medium). It just enables everyone to see every hateful opinion that used to be hidden in peoples homes.The myth of the filter bubble is being spread by politicians and regular people alike but people have always liked to get the news they agreed with. No one subscribes to a newspaper that has the opposite political outlook. Also, contrary to popular belief, wrong doers on Facebook are being held accountable if the cross the line of what is legal and what is not.

Summary | With so much information online lies exist and prosper alongside facts. It is difficult to tell them apart so maybe the computers should be in charge of marking facts green and non-facts red. People would not trust them even if they did. Fake news and lies feed hate online on social media.
