>Former U.S. president Barack Obama said the way people communicate via social media risked splintering society and leaders had to ensure the Internet did not cocoon users within their own biases.
>“All of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the Internet,” Obama said in an interview conducted by Britain’s Prince Harry, broadcast on BBC radio on Wednesday.
>“One of the dangers of the Internet is that people can have entirely different realities, they can be just cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases.”
>Obama has previously warned that social media platforms can lead people to make snap judgments about complex decisions although he has refrained from criticizing his successor Donald Trump who regularly uses Twitter.
>Obama said in the interview broadcast on Wednesday that social media should promote diverse views in a way that “doesn’t lead to a Balkanisation of our society” and moving online communities offline helped people to see that many issues were not as simple as they might seem in a chatroom. “ >It’s also by the way harder to be as obnoxious and cruel in person as people can be anonymously on the Internet,” he said.
>“Meet in the pub...Meet at a place of worship. Meet in a neighborhood and get to know each other.”
We would do that if others didn't show up to bash the fash out of "self-defense."

What a bigot.
Justin Rodriguez
He was right and you guys fucked it all up.
Eli Peterson
Cry more you dumb nigger
Grayson Rodriguez
the only reason this is an issue now is because there are right wing "safe spaces" on the internet. nobody was whining while all the major sites were leftist sjew poz shitholes. funny how that works huh?
anyway hes wrong, we need echo chambers in order to internally refine ideas and beliefs with a lower risk of subversion by (((them))).
as long as we self regulate, test and refine our ideas, they should stand up to any leftist attempt at rebuttal.
the risk comes when autists refuse to accept any criticism and sperg out to the max on issues like telegony. seriously nobody in the public sphere will take you seriously until you provide some data and evidence for its existence in humans, until then its just cringy to pretend that because it happened in flies that it happens in humans
Joseph Moore
He's right, but it's not as if him and his types wouldn't have their own biases? I assume they would want to set up this common space? Herd us in like sheep and have mob rule stamp out dissenters?
>"Obama and his Patriot Act bullshit is okay! But for gods sake you praise Trump we'll make sure you never get to have an opinion bigot :) "
Hudson Bailey
Obama is the king of saying a lot while not actually saying anything
Nathan Reed
He's right, but it will never happen because leftists don't want open discussion. They want safespaces and downvotes, and in extreme cases (facebook, twitter), actual censorship of people who don't have the "correct" views.
Christopher Ward
It's a lawyers gift. He still has a good point though. I'm sure the alt right has some crazy illogical ideas, but I'm pretty sure the leftist ideology, with proper scrutiny in an open space, would be destroyed if free speech was allowed. The left fears free speech more than the right.
Jackson Watson
How long is King Nigger going to linger around when he's not even fucking relevant nowadays? He's already going down in history as one of the worst presidents in history.
Parker King
obama doesn't realize americans hate each other. the culture creates enemies when you are competing for everything. he would know that if he was black,.

Thomas Cruz
A lot of this can be pinpointed to Bilderberg 2011.
if only there was some common area anyone with an internet connection could access and post their shitty ideas for all to see
John Russell
He's more relevant than Drumpf nowadays. The lefties still worship him as their demigod. The world sucks his nigger dick all at end. He will continue to spout shit unless you fucks discredit him.
Carter Ramirez
I would agree with him if I didn't know that everything he is saying will just lead to hurting anyone right leaning. I agree people say really stupid shit online but I doubt he is fighting against the boomers on Facebook who post death threats to me for voting Trump.
William Campbell
Yes he is right but for the wrong reasons and from the wrong perspective.
Then again he's just a boomer.
>It’s also by the way harder to be as obnoxious and cruel in person as people can be anonymously on the Internet,” he said.
Why is it that I’m either a slave of the Jew run zog or a Nazi why can’t there be other options?

>Now compare that with your life. CCTV cameras with face-recognition software scan your daily life. Travel cards log your journeys. And online, you'll have noticed – particularly in the last year – how your accounts are all being linked, and how you're having to constantly prove your identity. Anonymity is a sin. Anonymity is what terrorists do.
>And here's the irony. In secret, with no public oversight, a group of politicians, billionaires and corporate CEOs are discussing (we're told): Social Networks: Connectivity and Security Issues.
Brayden Cook
why give them the benefit of having to refine their ideas once they fail to stand up to external counter arguments? you are only helping sjws reform this way.
preventing debate until it is forced, such as during elections, will prevent the left from producing reasonable ideas and arguments.
at that point the winning side will be the one which internally self regulates best and who do you trust more to do that? someone in the alt right or a sjw? its really no contest at that point
think about it, why would barak come out and say something if the current situation favoured the left? he wouldnt, hed shut his mouth while the alt-right wandered further into obscurity
the reason hes talking about it now and bringing it up is because the right is winning the war of ideas, we are better able to formulate and refine our arguments than the left are, we are starting to win the culture war and these cucks are already trying to stifle that any way they can.
do you really think the left will show up to debate your arguments? or are they just going to label you a nazi and try to character assassinate you?

Translation: "We don't gain anything from our control of online media if our people stay in their own cocoon and our enemies stay in theirs. We need to force everyone into the same space, where we can enforce the same narrative and limits on speech for everyone."

Literally asking the government to control the internet in order to control the narrative. Fuck this guy. Maybe he's jealous and wants a government funded /leftypol/ to take off. The nerdy kid who's an assistant teacher is never the one you want to be around.

>and leaders had to ensure the Internet did not cocoon users within their own biases
Who are these leaders, and why do they have any right to regulate the realities millions of people experience?
>“All of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the Internet,”
A common place where certain people get to regulate millions of realities because they're 'leaders.'
>It’s also by the way harder to be as obnoxious and cruel in person as people can be anonymously on the Internet,” he said
Read: It's easier ro bully people in person than over the internet, because in person we can interupt 'bigots' while they speak, we can accuse the 'bigots' of interupting others whenever they speak, and when they can angry we can say they're triggered and punch a Nazi.
>We would do that if others didn't show up to bash the fash out of "self-defense."
Identified discourse is less honest than anonymous discourse, and this is why Sup Forums can butt heads with the elite - we have reality on our side.
Society is a collection of masks and lies. The moment you enter society, you enter a world of masks and lies - their world. In public, truth is tracked down and shot. It doesn't matter what truth you're speaking.
We'll win by silently converting whites to our cause over the internet with memes and race facts, not exposing ourselves in public.

internet isn't creating a bubble it's the thing that gets you out of your bubble. Before internet we had people stuck in their catholic/protestant bubble depending who your parents are. There is this weird idea going around that before the internet everybody talked happily and open to each other.
Carter Hernandez
They talked more openly, or were at least confronted with more opinions with which they disagreed, and learned that they can't throw a pants-shitting tantrum about it.
Social media allows you to choose whose opinions you see, who you will block, who you will listen to--you need never be confronted with an uncomfortable idea. It has emotionally infantilized the people using it. They're stunted, incomplete human beings.
Isaac Brooks

You're not understanding that social media allows people to do their own censorship. That's fine, that's their right, but it also has huge consequences when those same people are *never* confronted with offense.
The censoring of the platforms themselves is a different discussion.
