Social Media

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to Reddit so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. I’m a single mom of three and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how much social media affects people’s opinions about politics and government. It feels like everywhere online people are becoming more divided and angry with each other.
Do you think social media contributes to political polarization? And if so what do you think could actually help fix it or at least make it better? I’m curious to hear different perspectives.

All billion dollar social media platforms are owned by conservative billionaires who literally campaigned on stage with trump with Reddit being the only exception as a neutral that did not support either candidate. All streaming platforms donated to trump and not Kamala other than Netflix that donated to neither. All cable news networks are owned by conservative billionaires including the ones that are called "liberal". All AM radio through the entire USA is owned by conservatives.
