On this blog, I have written often about the media's portrayal of the Child Welfare Issue. Today I'm going to move away from that, and show you why we are not all on the same page, and with the way things are moving, why we never will be.
This is a really interesting take on the control of information issue but it leaves out a very important factor in that both Google and Facebook are advertising giants and both earn most of their money through advertising methods. I remember in a marketing class I took, for example talking about cable TV providers doing a sort of psychological profile on television viewers based on their viewing habits, so that they could more effectively zero in on ones personality and tailor individualized and highly targeted advertising packages to each viewer with a Digital Cable Box, where you would get a different set of television commercials than I would even when watching the same program through the same service. Also ad in the companies that do data mining, who specialize in tracking people's tractable purchases, internet searches, cell phone calls etc and you have a wealth of individualized demographics to target in on in your advertising campaigns.
Politically, I can see this being of benefit to the powers that be by preventing us from all being on the same page. However, this probably also helps to explain why so many of these experienced foster parents and system sucks out there are so blind to the fact that that the child welfare system is a mess and is based on lies and fraud. They're never shown the truth, because the truth has become personalized.
