They haven't just made a safe space they have actively promoted extreme content of all types that drove engagement. Whether that was antisemitic or hoaxes or just misinformation hasn't really mattered, if it was profitable it got amplified.
It is a business model that seems to be doing a lot of harm to society and the news but it also exposes how little has really changed in the attitude of people around the world. Bigotry of all types is a lot more common than the news and TV especially has exposed us too. Social media allowed us to see reality.
I hate how much human effort is wasted in trying to change the attitudes of billions of people with various prejudices around the world, its a never ending drain of effort with minimal progress shown for it.
