This thread is going nowhere pretty. But if you want an honest answer to this, the answer is obviously no social networks don’t properly represent world issues.
There are a myriad of reasons for this in the case of the Gaza famine some legitimate and some illegitimate, but one I would call fairly legitimate is that the US provides vast support to one side of the conflict as an ally so it is very natural for it to be a hotter talking point than the famine in Sudan. People feel they are complicit in what happens in Gaza.
