The Sordid Role Social Media Plays in These Riots | Eastern North Carolina Now

    We have no doubt you will be hearing more about such stories as this. Local Facebookers tell us they saw numerous posts advocating demonstrations on the Waterfront in Washington. Same on Twitter and Instagram. We can't help be conclude that social media is facilitating the organization of these riots. They may not be explicitly calling for violence but when they facilitate the organization of events that are likely to result in violence they are aiders and abettors. But we think those who use the purveyors of garbage share some of that blame. We don't understand why reasonable people mess with these gossip rags.
