Quote: Trojan Horse "Any odd job Bob can be a ‘journalist’ these days with a keyboard and too much time on their hands.
Social media is rife with pages of related content which is just copy and pasting a paragraph and filling it out with loads of pointless text.
My opinion is that social media should completely ban any form of freelance journalism except by officially recognised organisations or the clubs themselves.
Social media should just be what it was intended for to chat, meet and talk to friends and other people. Instead it’s become a playground for fake pages, people, profiles and media along with advertising to phish for data on personal users. It’s disgracefully unregulated and volatile.'"
Spot on.
It's criminally misused and seemingly unaccountable.
