Despite being buried in culture war propaganda, misinformation, and bending to the whims of corporations and the everyday status quo warrior, the potential for social media to be a reliable source of information and a more enriching communication medium remains steadfast.

Neglected, sure. Unfulfilled, absolutely.
But destroyable? Never. We got where we are due to the way how social media was weaponised against the masses. It can be undone.
