I was at a booklaunch last night of a memoir from the 90s..There was discussion over how social media would have changed the authors life - but actually I think that cyberbullying / influence of named social media will decrease as time goes on

One of Facebooks principals was "your real name, your real face" and that's what's held it back from staying relevant. It's had to diversify into insta and whatsapp because people flock to semi-anonymous, easily-moved profiles because that's what the internet always likes.
