The best way to destroy freedom is to use it the wrong way
The key element in a democracy is independent media. But otherwise, media is an ultimate tool in the hands of the governments. Here we must realize, that the world is full of people, who want to read the truth if the truth serves their purposes. So the words and speech are free if that thing is supporting those people.
What is the most effective target of terror? Rich and powerful people who are working in the inner circle of political actors have great value for politics. And as Lenin said: "the purpose of terror is terrorizing". So if the terrorizing would target to powerful people, that will bring more effect to terror.
Media is an effective tool in the hands of the government, especially in cases that other people would not know that the media is working under the control of the government. When we are thinking things like conspiracy theories, we must face that some of them are targeted against the head of states, because some people want to close the social media.
When we see the conspiracy theories about satanism and the pedophilia, what happens under the protection of the political elite, we must realize that this kind of action might have one attempt. To close some social media services. When some people are given pieces of advice in information operations they are saying, strike to head or balls, if you want to make the result. And the right persons, who would like to target are members of parliament or people, who have political value. If we are thinking the cases like "Panama leak" we must realize that the targets of those leaks were politically powerful people and business elite.
This kind of thing is called "false flag operations", what purpose is to justify some kind of actions, what might damage the political career of some people. Social media is a sword with two blades. That thing is an ultimate tool for delivering propaganda and another kind of stuff, but the other thing is that social media can also uncover secrets, which are somehow damaging the reputation of some people. When we are looking at things like social media, there is one thing, what we are forgotten, and that is that it shows things, that nobody wants to see.
Artificial intelligence, which is used for profiling the targets for media marketing is also the ultimate tool for propaganda and psychological operations. That makes the propaganda even more effective than we ever thought. So social media can be used for making good or bad things. And in fact, we know that there are always people who are sitting next to writers, and they are telling us that they know the home address of the writers. In that case, people haven't told, that do they mean the homepage address of the blog or physical home address? In my case, they might know both of them.
But the problem with social media is freedom. The most effective way to destroy freedom is to use it the wrong way. Many people want to close social media, and some of those people are not the head of the state. Many people would not want those other people will know, what they are paying to their employees. And many people will not want other people to know, where they are putting their highly toxic waste.
