    'top 5 memes destroying democracy'?

    This reminds me of discussions in the 90s about TV advertising.

    There is a feedback loop (which leads to some fucking crazy ideas gaining validation) but there is a/ more info than ever before (no excuse for being mislead) and b/ no going back.

  • A and b are both valid, but unfortunately many voting discussions are related to c: Emotions.

    Leave won on c, not on a. Can add exploit c more? I'm not sure.

    Scroll down to 2013 bit. Purely opinion but interesting I thought.

    Now it's all not the end of the world but it would just be unfortunate if targeted ads / Facebook political add would only heighten divisions. Fptp is already a cluster.

    No doubt a million good opinion pieces are written about that right now in science and technology magazines :)
