It really is a recipe for radicalising people online, there are very few platforms where there can be reasonable public discourse online and I think we haven't figured that out yet. I think people need to understand that the internet is simply a flow of thoughts and information you can tap into but you need to still process it on your own and accept there are counters and review them for merit.
