THE CURSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INTERNET

In the aftermath of the terrible coordinated attacks by sui- cide bombers on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka that killed more than 300 people and wounded about 500 in churches and ho- tels across the small nation, the Sri Lankan government took the extraordinary step of shutting down social media platforms, including Facebook, You Tube, and Twitter, in order to prevent the dissemination of misinformation that might incite even more bloodshed among its various sectarian groups. This decade has seen the spread of social media that rightly might be compared to an out-of-control wildfire. What initially was seen as an innocuous manner of sharing information among friend groups -- think of friends sitting around a camp fire tell- ing stories -- has turned into a raging inferno whipped by the winds of greed and hatred that is destroying everything in its path. Say what you want about the recently-released Mueller Re- port, what is beyond dispute is that it shows that the Russian government used social media through coordinated bot attacks to spread misinformation among large swaths of the American public who utilize these forms of media. In short, the Russians are using social media to undermine our democracy. The attacker in New Zealand who committed the atrocities in two mosques drew his inspiration from social media postings by right-wing organizations and individuals from around the world and then posted his carnage live on-line. It was hours be- fore the social media companies were able to take down what he posted, but by then the damage had been done and his carnage had been viewed around the globe. In some respects, these abuses of on-line platforms by those who wish to spread fear and disinformation are just the tip of the iceberg of the curse that has become the internet. There is no such thing as privacy for anybody, unless you live Guest Op-Ed under the proverbial rock. Everything we do on-line is tracked and establishes a profile that can be used -- and misused -- by those who are keeping track.
