Incels and other such creeps aren't popping up in other places or real life though. Spend a week in a rural place near you and you'll find that people there legit think that "big tech"--who they know is insanely powerful and think are biased against folks like them--attempt to a.) censor people and b.) censor claims about election fraud specifically in regards to "their president" winning. Think about how that might come off to you if you were Trump supporter. You can disagree with that viewpoint but you have to admit you can see what lots of people who totally buy it would think about those actions. Those are people who aren't going to stop talking with each other either, regardless of what we in the "big tech" think.

Bingo. But to be fair Big Tech didn’t cause this problem and it can’t solve this problem. There has been a general breakdown of trust in elites and media institutions over the past 30 years. It’s just spilling over to tech now.
