Wes Fryer discusses some of the obvious issues around rebbuilding trust in society and culture south of our border as citizens struggle to understand whether anything they read is true, whether the rule of law will bcome effective again, and whether governance is still a thing. "Most users of social media today would agree that the shape of the 'TechBro'-dominated social media landscape (think Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) has and continues to have a massive influence on how we as people see and consume ideas," he comments. "We are struggling as a society in part because we have discounted the importance and value of expert voices and expertise. So many people have opinions… and in some circles / on some platforms, those voices can have an 'outsized volume' and an unwarranted level of amplification."
