    People thought the first Trump presidency was a politically divided time, but maybe we’re now entering an even more divided time, given that social media is now fragmenting along political lines, more prominently than it did before.

      When a Maga billionaire buys a large social media platform… that will cause the divide. And it is.

        Sure. Maybe it’s worrying though that social media is splitting on ideological lines. This didn’t really used to be the case. Twitter was intended for everybody, so was Facebook, etc.

        Maybe the divisions in western societies are becoming sharper and more bitter. That’s probably not a good thing.
