The root of the problem is older generation without antidot to internet experience. Something younger people developed when internet wasn't that powerful. My older uncle few years ago discovered internet and immediately become a "comments warrior" on facebook. Right now he's not that active.
Facebook data issues leads to Trump election, trump election leads to rising hate, rising hate and polarization leads to liberal media also radicalized to degree that during BLM protest it's ok to burn down popo's in the car. People decided to go above the law thinking it's ok because they believe in something. Because they saw Trump is going above the law... Because facebook and cambridge analytica were able to act illegally also.
Everything in this world is connected especially when information flux become so fast.
In the very end we're still social creatures, and we act by examples.
The problem also is that Social Media led us to a rise of Opinions and eclipse of real News media. Go to any news media website. It's full of opinions.
Those website understand power of social media also try to get their piece of pie. Opinionated content is created with one intent - become shared on social media.
This is such a deep problem which probably started by Facebok, but it's far from been stoped by them.
[Opinion -> reaction -> benefit] supply chain is a multi billion industry right now. With so many 3rd parties on every step.
In the very end there are only two directions. Regulate it in a way you label content. Or the natural way. Trump uses this power to get into white house. Their opponents use it to fight back. I really doubt that dems or republicans have such a strong good intents call to stop using such a heavy weapon.
I guess later on society will find an antidot in a natural way.
