    In a very real sense cell phones and the way they are used to produce / distribute propaganda and misinformation are directly related to America bombing Iran.

      In the same way a pencil and paper are responsible for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yes.

      TIL that Boomers do not watch Fox News, but actually bother to read something on a tiny screen with teensy font size.

      It’s a good thing that Boomers don’t vote either!

      (Okay, but yeah cell phones helped, especially among the youths)

      But I don’t blame a device for that. Same as I don’t blame AI for AI. I blame evil megacorps and the corrupt politicians who let them do whatever they want.
