Social media is not designed to keep you informed. Its designed to keep you engaged because that helps them sell ads. And the best way to keep you engaged is to keep you enraged. I've seen in the US how social media has been used push false narratives, hate and other falsehoods. Its toxic.

If you really want to stay informed, there are plenty of newspapers, NGOs and other organizations out there reporting the truth.

And for decades before that mainstream media was used to push false narratives with absolutely no alternatives. Or have you forgotten about the Iraq War?

And they don't report on that kind of stuff because they either support it themselves or are indirectly funded by the government.
