Social media which has perpetuated identity politics, stan culture and clout chasing is currently reaching a tipping point. People are so obsessed with becoming keyboard warriors, political correctness and being seen on the "right" side that they just weigh in on topics, going along with the mob instead of taking the time to educate themselves before passing judgment and criticism. The certainty with which people rush to judgment without any knowledge of the facts is alarming, not withstanding that there are always three sides to each story, each side and the truth.
This invokes the inherent danger of a loss of informed opinions as well as a loss of free speech when people who dare to voice dissenting opinions from what everyone else considers "correct" are instantly shot down not to mention it removes any chance for healthy discourse. I'm not saying that everyone does this but I feel like people are sometimes afraid to voice their real opinions just because they're afraid of being condemned and some will just pick a side while believing unsubstantiated information.
