Social Media and the state

[Noodles]

Not really a "growing trend", but more that it has been a trend for at least a decade now.
And the "separate media culture" has been a thing ever since guys were watching edgelord gross-out animation on cartoon network and girls were watching gilmore girls or Will & Grace.

I was thinking more goring outside of the US, where it's been worse for a while mostly. Probably could have made it more clear.

We're Living Brave New World, Not 1984

Orwell feared those who would ban books. Huxley feared that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Huxley's prophecy is closer to modern dystopia.
