I think you're right. We are products of our perception of reality. I just didn't want to get too deep in my summary. I feel that people are manipulated on social media mostly by opinions/narratives and not incorrect facts. These opinions end up guiding how we feel about facts. Example: Fact -> Maga protesters stormed the capital Opinion 1 -> "These protesters will be looked at as heroes for trying to protect our democracy" Opinion 2 -> "These protesters are fools to do such a dangerous thing for a president that doesn't care about them" I believe that depending on if you get more Opinion 1's or 2's on your feed, it probably will eventually shape how you feel about the fact. Sad thing is most of the time these opinions are hyperbolic and not balanced.
