The real question is, of course, why do people get paid to post on social media?
There’s clearly a lot of money in spreading hatred and division. Politicians are therefore financially incentivised to come up with policies that play well on social media. If you think of Tory, Reform and Restore rhetoric with that in mind, it goes some way to explaining why they spout such reactionary ill thought out rubbish.
Plenty of outrage about clips of dangerous driving being spread on social media in the last few days, nothing about this. These platforms need reining in on many fronts.
