Davos elites seem nostalgic for a time when “they were the gatekeepers and owned the facts”. Imagine being held to a higher journalistic standard!

Social media has both destroyed and freed society
Just destroyed from what I see.
Definitely only destroyed. While journalistic integrity has always been something fragile and often lacking, the shift of news media to try to capture the social media audience while simultaneously trying to “compete” with the content aggregators has led to much more vapid and misleading reporting.
24 hour cable news was the death knell for news media, and social media has been the final nail in the coffin. It accelerated the decline in journalistic standards to a ridiculous degree.
I have zero idea what you mean when you say that it has destroyed society. Can you explain?
Before social media, we used to converse in physical spaces and got more diverse ideas and attitudes. After social media, the algorithms (and ourselves) nudge us into ideological spaces where diversity suffers.
