Is social media building a new power, hierarchy?
Social media is something we construct, not physics, biology, or a natural model given by nature. It is designed by human beings based on human nature and weaknesses, and the only way we can think of cracking it today is to expect it to become kind and human in addition to requiring rules and calling on us to resist.

This is an eternal proposition: how can we really use technology to construct the world we live in under the concept of humanism? Or perhaps, this is not a question of how technology and people coexist at all, but how an individual explores himself and realizes a self-consistent proposition.
