Misinformation in Social Control Media
Earlier this month: Being in Social Control Media Means Exposing Oneself to Heckling
"I have no idea what LINUX really is. no matter how hard I try. All I know is Stallman is awesome," someone wrote yesterday after watching him. "Closing Keynote Day 3 - Dr. Richard Stallman - Web3 Summit 2024 Berlin https://youtu.be/tqgUGbZdyHs?si=xolOKpbgp7lE7xwU via @YouTube I really like this guy."
Here is the Invidious link (no Google JavaScript or trackers).
He then posted the image that claims RMS (Dr. Richard Stallman) is not using Google Search and has never used it. While it's extremely likely that he never used Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, Spotify and never himself owned a "smart" "phone" with "apps", it's less likely that he never at least experimented (maybe more than once) with the others. Seriously, do you think he never tried some JavaScript-free version of Google? Since 1998?
Social control media passes around all sorts of tropes. Some of them can make a person seem more like a hermit - or one might say "extreme" - than he or she is. █
