Absolutely. I don't post on social media and only downloaded twitter to follow a few city related feeds. Since clicking on a couple of the videos from the airport incident and a couple of bits linked from here in the recent threads my feed is now full of a lot of shit related to the disturbances with the odd city related post.The problem is with Twitter and other social media is the algorithms, likes and follows tend to funnel you down an ever narrow tunnel in terms of views and perspectives. You see it on here at times when on certain threads you get the same person posting tweet after tweet from their own feeds - presumably unable to articulate their thoughts for themselves, and labouring under the misconception that other folk want to see their feed.
Extremism is not caused by exposure to extreme views, it is caused by exposure to just one view.
Is there a way to get it back to how it was?
