Just brainstorming here: What if social media algorithms were biased heavily towards local content? I don't subscribe to any channels at all on YouTube, and yet when I watch a video the sidebar recommendations are often filled with only marginally related videos on US politics and other specially American content. On Facebook, I don't follow any American news outlets, and again, my newsfeed gets a disproportionate amount of US news stories. Despite not actively attempting to consume Americentric content (but not actively avoiding it), it's pushed in my face. After the US election, my newsfeed was flooded with posts about it. Meanwhile, I saw practically zero posts about the election in Myanmar and subsequent events. I haven't seen anything at all about the election in Peru. Arguably US politics has more of an effect on me than Peruvian politics. But so much of the "news" was inane tabloid stories covering events like Rudy Giuliani's hair dye running.
