social media does acually help teengers and youth peaple to acually stay updated through the official social media accounts of the gov , because most of youth peaple nowdays do not watch tv or read news peapers so its acually helpful

i totally understand your pov but let me break it down for u , atp the falsehoods informations are not because of social media but because of how we see socialmedia , most of the peaple nowdays they're just consuming of the slop they see on the internet or as what you've mentioned Twitter itself , what did MIT did not mention here is for every singel thing a bad side and if we did acually start working on this by providing educational programmes about how to acually understand what's true and whats not we will be able to make social media a safer and good place for everyone , also by providing official media's for exemple official BBC page or gov page so it would be the only place where peaple can take information from , or also by putting a bulshit measure that acually make us able to fact check the post and see if its acually truth or not providing good sources too , im not here to disgree with you but im here to make the social media a better place for everyone

you'r acually giving some good aurgement but please let me clearfy for you , first if we did acually stop social media do you think thats why real democracy looks like ? instead of fixing the problem we will just shut it down which it will cause way more choas then what's we are living right now , however i'll provide for you some solution instead of just removing it , let's begin with this aurgement first where you've said "The algorithms serving them content prioritize emotional reactions over reliable info" nowdays we are watching a mass revolution in social media platform and just to let you updated , instagram algorithm is costumizeable now , OH YES and thats what we call real democracy is to get what you want , you wanna see poltical content just write there for exemple " left wing" or " restore party" or wtv you wanna see , "I saw a study showing that false political headlines get 70% more shares than true ones" you didnt even gived source or where did u saw this and this proves my point acually however this is more than a human nature that peaple feel curios about those topics and btw its not a new thing its been since old news papers and that does not mean that social media is bad but if we put law's against that it would be a great idea to acually fix the problem + "memes" "ragebait" its just a form of freedom of speech its a nowdays form of criticizing like how it's used to be before social media "Right now, social media's architecture rewards the loudest, not the truest voices. That's a shaky structure for any republic." and just like this how its been before already its a human nature not social media fault

first of all , you are not even debating my aurgement and trying not to , however still im going to debate every aurgement you've gived , im not trying to "draw a map of a perfect city" because nothing is perfect , since it can't be perfect it could be a wabi sabi not everything is perfect even the democracy it self , "The platforms themselves are designed to shove the most divisive content to the top. Even if we add fact-checks and official sources, the algorithm still rewards the shouting match over the thoughtful conversation." i understand that since the goal of social media platforms goals is to profite from you , but we can change that as we said we can acually sue or if we are in a position of power just put some laws that can both sides agree on , "Democracy isn't just about having information available. It's about having a shared reality to discuss. Social media keeps pulling us into different rooms where we can't even agree on what's true." and that's not the diffention of democracy too tho , democracy is about freedom is about freedom to choose to speak to pick , that's what is democracy also by saying "It's like trying to fix a leaky boat by painting it" removing social media is not a solution too , by keeping state controlled media that they do acually provide " truthful info's" it's a form of dictatorship not a solution

thank you for explaining and clearfy your pov for me which it was acually hard to understand however let's talk first about "it's a city of locked rooms."You call it a city of locked rooms but you're forgetting what the world looked like before social media: a world governed by elite gatekeepers. and let me make things clear to you one thing Social media didn't invent echo chambers; it broke down the palace walls. For the first time in human history, marginalized communities, decentralized social movements, and regular citizens have the power to coordinate globally and hold powerful institutions accountable in realtime. That is fundamentally democratic. and by the way Democracy itself has never been a perfect
