That’s your opinion, obviously people took to the streets because social media can be ignored And minimized but people in the streets can’t be ignored.

I’ll return the favor to say social media is the protestors megaphone over the streets is deeply disingenuous...see how easy it is to speak past each other online, good luck with that in the street

In effect, social media users are just acting as speechwriters for the companies' political views. They submit comments, and mods chosen by the company decide which comments are published. Or sometimes the company simply bans particular viewpoints.

What gets published on social media is increasingly company approved just like any other company's public messaging.
