FB political ads don't seem to be the root cause of their radicalizing influence. My understanding is that it's more related to how their algorithms push more and more extreme pages and groups. A relatively non-partisan person who likes a news article about gun rights gets pushed news and pages that promote more conservative viewpoints, and those pages lead to fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, and the groups that promote those ideas. Trump/Biden ads seem less problematic than memes about vigilante justice against minorities that float around FB. |
