Pandemic + Social Media = Division

Social Media use has accelerated during the pandemic and it is helping to tear the fabric of society apart. News feed algorithms have created massive division by tailoring user experience for maximum engagement, outrage, addiction and revenue. I highly recommend checking out the Center for Humane Technology. They are a highly intelligent group of folks from Silicon Valley that are working to do something about it.

Facebook, Twitter and the likes can change the world by simply changing their algorithms slightly.
