You can't force people to use sociaal media. When I was a kid CB radios were all the rage. Now nobody uses them. One day people are going to suddenly look at Social Media as being old fashioned and will abandon it. If it wasn't for old people Facebook would have croaked years ago.

I doubt that. I only see people being more and more connected through the Internet in the close future. The technology might change, but we will only be more and more connected as time goes on.

I think there's a lot of people out there that don't know as much about the way the government seeks to influence social media so I decided to share this.

It's a good rundown about the operations and psyops that the Pentagon constantly uses on social media and how it is being fought for.
