AD-Free Episode 454 - The Biggest Topic There Is

Catching up on this guys, just want to say i found it such a thoughtful discussion and i really appreciate you guys talking in depth on the social media topic and the pros and cons of how we can act. Hope you and your families are all well and thanks for all the good stuff!

I loved the final conversation topic - very well considered. I hope you all know I think you're all awesome and love listening to your content!

This is great! I think the road rage bit at the end from Elliot is a perfect comparison - the difference is social media keeps a record of the reaction. Imagine if every road rage incident you ever had was documented online and potentially used to get you fired years later! One of the other big issues is how you police these things - there are obvious words and phrases that people would be unanimously in favour of banning, but a lot of these things, particularly opinions on sensitive subjects, risk falling into a real tightrope of censorship, free speech etc.

Great discussion on social media. I, like Elliott am thin skinned, so therefore just choose not to be on social media. Unfortunately that means I miss out on a lot of the positives but it's a trade off I am willing to pay. I have children who as is their wont, want to be on social media and engage with friends. Its for me as a parent to help them navigate that but for large social media companies to protect the 'bullies in the classroom' and take the what can we do approach is not good enough. Its not going to be a simple answer but I hope on a larger scale a similar discussion is happening at a level where real change can be effected. Keep up the good work guys.

Human elocution means, face to face interaction leads to understanding and care, without that face to face interaction, the care factor diminished rapidly, that why social Media lacks care the normal society has

I gagged when Tim predicted Willian to start. Please be wrong.
