He also tells people to only put their iPhones in the air, since he wants "only originals." Guess we know where he stands on smartphones, then (although he recently got rid of his phone to focus on creativity).

Is Kanye presenting a complex, nuanced take on the problems of internet accuracy and corporate responsibility in Silicon Valley? Hell no. This is a shoot-from-the-hip diatribe. However, it shows that concerns over online authenticity are bubbling to the surface. If Kanye sees it as a problem as serious to him as unfairness to Obama and alleged corruption at the MTV Video Music Awards, you know it's in the mainstream consciousness. In that sense, efforts to fight fake news are overdue -- Kanye's speech is a reflection of frustration that, in some ways, has been simmering for months or even years.

Update: Kanye's aliens reference was likely an allusion to Zuckerberg's presence on the board of directors for Breakthrough Starshot.
