        Oh I hate this argument.

        With an election year next year, politics is about to get shoe horned into everything with the “(insert subject) is politics” is justification.

        I think most people think of technology as scientific based rather than social media trends and events.

          I wouldn’t call the possibly intentional destruction of a social media infrastructure “social media trends and events.”
