- sharemywin 8y agoThat's not what causes polarization. Those just speed it up and amplify it.
- barrow-rider 8y agoWhile social media usage is lower in France[1], it's laughable to say that it's not a force. Nor is agenda & social-media driven journalism less of a thing, it's just mitigated by government fairness doctrines[2] -- but certainly still there. Hell, you can make a prima facie argument that this is totally true just by looking at the massive riots happening all across France.
