That’s not entirely true. Social media now (and for a long while) shows people what they want to see. If you’re right wing then it will show posts that reinforce those beliefs. Social media isn’t picking sides, it’s trying to maximize view time and if that requires distributing misinformation then so be it.
These days, sure, but like I said, I’m a millennial born in the 80s, and formed most of my political beliefs during 2000s internet, before algorithms took over. So older people like me have even less of an excuse to be conservative.
