out only to the few people that they've selected.

of all ages to feel a level of privacy.

20. What had gone wrong with Facebook
• The goal of connecting everyone in the world conflicting with the
design of requiring real identity and having real privacy.

gained both economic as well as political power where they dominate
the public square in every democracy.
• So, no government is in position to change the behaviour of these
companies.

society
Public health
• With teenagers: there’s a lot of bullying on products.
• With adults: Filter bubbles.
22. Problems with democracy

manipulate or to appeal to the weakest issue for each party.
• Either this issue have to do
with electoral process
going on.

• The problem of privacy is
that the data of the people
start leaking which is really
a big problem.

monopolists.

new social media start-up
and survive in this industry.
