[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 73771807, member: 326155"] To the extent that search engines funnel to people and suggest to people more of what they've seen before and imply thus imply by volume that the truth of the world is in one direction only, then social media does tend to increase extremism in a number of ways. It's easy to make it obvious--just deliberately hit a few websites or Google a few topics outside your normal reading areas, and you'll get a bunch of things in those veins suddenly pointed your way. Someone who doesn't make a determined effort to seek out the other side will get only one side. [/QUOTE]
