“Social media is increasingly being used as a tool, and sometimes even a weapon, to influence people's thinking and behavior. Through algorithms, people can be exposed to constant streams of content that reinforce certain beliefs and, in some cases, contribute to radicalization. The goal is often not just to inform, but to shape narratives and influence public opinion. While platforms promote freedom of speech, they do not necessarily guarantee freedom of reach. Content they disagree with may receive less visibility, while content they favor can be amplified. As a result, many people feel that their voices are welcomed only when they align with prevailing views. When they express opposing opinions, they may face censorship, reduced visibility, shadow banning, or even attempts at character assassination.”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos
