Im seriously in a very thin line to deactivated my instagram and twitter. Too many things in there, things i don't want to see. But at the same time, i need those two because my irl friends mostly there (and it easier to update news from there, especially twitter). I wish I could be careless like in here. Their force algorithms really sucks!

I've been thinking about this whole morning and it give brainrot--as what you guys called. English is not my first language so the words and sentences might be weird.

We all saw and read the news about celebrities, like we know things about their private lives 24/7 and even though we said that we don't want to know, the news and information just keep being forced to us. And for someone who chronically online all the time, seeing the news about celebrities sounds like we are part of their lives and when they fucked up we feel to obligated to say something about it. I don't know yet what the scientific name for it but I like to called it 'involuntary parasocial behavior' because we thought that just because we followed them on social media or we consumed and knows about their private lives, somehow it gives the right to called them names or even canceled them. It makes us like the judges, the juries, and the executioner when in fact we are no one in their lives, we are strangers that happen to be in the same internet ecosystem with them. And the worst part is, their problematic behavior dictates our lives. Like, we based our daily even life choices from those celebrities. We let the news about them effects us daily. Honey, we keep saying don't let other people ruins our day, but we let those celebrities, those influencers to ruins our day with their problems. Their private problems ffs. We called them problematic, well there's news to you: we are all problematic in someone else's lives. Please stop letting celebrities (and/or influencers) dictates your life. They're human, just like you. Stop treating them as moral compass or something above. Human are messy. We are messy. Let's live this messy life without worrying or even angry over someone else messes.

The FCC's War On The Internet Targets Facebook

The FCC’s War On The Internet Targets Facebook

      Why was Silicon Valley so unenthusiastic about the FCC’s February net neutrality order? Despite the oft-repeated goal of the FCC to pass rules that would protect content providers from “potentially” discriminatory practices by powerful ISPs “picking winners and losers on the Internet,” major Internet content companies were conspicuously absent from this year’s bruising open Internet…
