@ChamberZuu I agree to an extent. Social media is in the middle when it comes to harming and fostering democracy because as much as it spreads false information, there would be no democracy without individuals having a voice of their own.
@crabundermyskin I strongly agree with your response because in Stoll's article "Why the Web Won't Be Nirvana," he discusses how the internet is full of false information that often misleads Individuals. The media has "become a wasteland of unfiltered data"(para.3).
The media can harm democracy because of misinformation, which often misleads individuals. But still, it can also help democracy due to the fact that social media is an open space that allows everyone to share their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. #MEDIA1801D04
