A large chunk of Facebook has been owned by Russian oligarchs for years. Jesus. What do people think Social Media is? A way to share pictures with Grandma?

There are so many times I'm reading a thread on twitter and I just realize that a lot of people are using their inside voice to say things out loud. Or type them. Whatever. Anyway, there are thoughts, questions, and opinions that in years past were better off left inside your head but so many people are just letting them fly.

And I'm not even talking about the racist/sexist/whateverist posts, though those are bad too.
