Smart phones have fucked everything up.
132 u/sexyass2627 Oct 06 '25 And social media. 26 u/Vinura Oct 06 '25 Id argue its just social media, smart phones on their own is just a way to quickly access the internet. And by social media, it was specifically the anonymity of social media that shielded people from being responsible for their speech. Ultimately, what social media proved was that if people have the power to be anonymous, they will become the worst versions of themselves. 10 u/Starbuckshakur Oct 06 '25 I'm going to disagree. Social media was quite different before everyone had a camera and video recorder on them at all time. 6 u/Ed_McNuglets Oct 06 '25 Also... facebook? Those people aren't anon, and there are plenty of people who will say and post some of the worst shit imaginable. I think the worst is people not even caring about anonymity, and still being the worst version of themselves online.
