  1. So a man who has already failed massively to understand the nature of the internet should give us advice on how to use the internet effectively? And what actual solutions did he offer beyond his wish that people would play nicer? Desperately naive.

  3. +Vinicius Portugal I'm not the person presenting a video titled "Let's design social media that drives real change." If I go to a movie and it's bad, nobody expects me to be able to direct a movie before I can criticise it.

  5. +Khalid Mohamed Adel I'm not saying he shouldn't learn from it. I am saying that he is hardly an expert on how to fix the problem.

  6. +Chilling Goat There are tens of thousands of social media experts who are adept at providing forums in which fractious exchanges are minimised. Ever heard of "moderated forums"? You know, the type of forum that dominates the internet and has existed for 20 years?
