  • I have never understood social media. Never used it. I don't understand why anyone would want to know what I'm doing or thinking and I certainly don't care what anyone else is doing - not anyone I know and certainly not strangers or celebrities. I have never used Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or any of them. It's basically international gossip?

    I hate how the news is now dominated by a Twitter echo chamber. So much of the "news" these days seems to be what person X said about topic Y on Twitter, and it allows a minority of the most insane people to determine the political agenda.
