Scooter Braun said social media is not the solution

He also thinks that everyone lives in a time of toxic division, and most people think that social media is an appropriate place to express and air out on each other and not have conversations. He added that he does not like politicians doing it or anybody doing it. According to him if he has to be the bad guy for a longer period of time, he will be the bad guy but he will not participate in it.

Braun further said that people need to communicate and when people are able to communicate then things can start to work out.
