Carole Cadwalladr: “Social media *is* mainstream media now. It’s where the majority of the world gets its news. Though who even cares about news? It’s where the world gets its memes and jokes and consumes its endlessly mutating trends. Forget ‘internet culture’. The internet *is* culture. And this is where this election was fought and won … long before a single person cast a ballot.”
