    The logical result of a world where there is no meaningful regulation on social media and they’ve cracked the code for constructing a cozy, individualized reality for every person that consumes algorithmically-weighted content.

        I would argue that there’s a big difference between an intelectually honest disagreement, and fabricating facts, inventing realities and just plain and simply ignoring actual proof.

        And that’s the problem with social networks. They amplify stupidity and the algorithm is made to enhance whatever the tech-bro billionaires want to enhance. And unfortunately most of them are disgustingly corrupt pieces of shit, when not downright nazis.
