We—or I should probably just speak for myself here— I don’t browse these platforms expecting to be deceived, and yet I am deceived constantly.
We often consume edited and fictional content unknowingly on social media. We forget that people can simply make things up and present it as truth. We—or I should probably just speak for myself here— I don’t browse these platforms expecting to be deceived, and yet I am deceived constantly. The imaginary and fantastical are presented as reality. This feels quite dangerous.
