The online environment has several content problems that require solvation affirmed Twitter and Medium co-founder Evan Williams.

Williams believes social platforms tend to encourage deviant and antisocial behaviors, expressing his regret when it came to Donald Trump’s victory.

‘I think the internet is broken’, declared the Twitter co-founder for New York Times

The American entrepreneur reached this conclusion for a while now but the situation became even worse.

‘It’s more and more clear that the Internet is broken’, pinpointed the tech expert.

Considering that, these days, people use Facebook or Instagram to broadcast homicides, rapes and aggression live, the fact that the Internet is not exactly the safest place it’s pretty clear.

Meanwhile, Twitter transformed into this network of cynical, harassing and abusive comment.

Fake news, created to promote wrong ideologies or to generate profit are daily occurrences.

Four from ten adults who use the internet revealed that, at least once in their life, they’ve been harassed online.

‘I thought that, if people are able to express themselves freely, the world will become a better place. I was wrong’, added Williams.

‘The problem with the internet is the fact that it encourages everything thst is extreme. For example, you drive on a highway and you notice a car crash. You tend to stare. Everyone stares. However, the internet interprets this behavior like the people would want to see more crashes’, explained the Twitter co-founder.
