Social media has become a weapon of war

Scrolling down my Facebook timeline, one often comes across stories that are meant to convince you of something.
Diets, products, events, pandemics, cures, bitcoin and politics are all topics you can come across in a day’s scroll on social media.
For example; we have been inundated with tales and narratives during these days of Covid-19 and the introduction of fifth generation technology, often trying to convince one of some sort of theory or conspiracy or the other.
My grandparents’ generation used to call this propaganda. Yet today it is a bit more subtle. This promotion of certain information does not come through government spin-doctors, as propaganda would have traditionally, but through media and especially, social media.
