Not everyone believes that the existence of Twitter, in its current state as an amplification medium for the ever increasing polarisation in this world, is actually a force of good.

True, though I’d take amplified polarization any day over what Facebook and YouTube have done for years steering vulnerable people to conspiracy content.
