Was Marconi responsible for the emergence of Goebbel's propaganda? Probably not, because the technology was not designed for actively promoting the propaganda.

By contrast, the modern media technology is specifically designed to recommend. It's an essential part of the business model, as noted in a comment by MG.

Lawyers are deliberately taught to separate matters of fact, opinion and law. For example, "Обама надавил" is a matter of fact; "позорный закон" is a matter of opinion. Whether in a particular Supreme Course case the First Amendment rights prevail over economic rights is a matter of precedent-setting law.

In court, personal opinions are valued the least. By contrast, in everyday life personal opinions, especially MY OPINIONS, are valued the most.
