It's because the companies who control the algorithms pick what you see.
So wait? Do Right Wingers see left wing stuff? Or do they just want everyone to see a Conservative Dystopia?
On Facebook, the most disgusting hate against trans people is explicitly allowed. If a trans person calls out bigotry, their account gets taken down for hate speech. It's 1984 over there. Conservative billionaires run conservative websites.
A lot is meta AI bots. Pushing hate speech. That's why reporting does nothing. They don't ban their own bots.

This is business as usual with Trump's regime.

It's everywhere. Not just Facebook. But Facebook is probably the worse because a lot is meta owned bots doing a lot of the work.
Of course Twitter X is probably equally bad. I just never have used it so I wouldn't know first hand.
People will see what will likely get them to engage more often. So if a left wing person rage comments on a right wing post, they will get more of that and vice versa.
If you use the tik toks and the instagrams of the world, just start swiping. Less than one second per item. Don’t stop. You will see the different themes of topics. They will try to hook you with titties, jokes, politics, whatever keeps you there for longer.
Suddenly the world is full of the things you engage with. Engage with anti trans stuff, you will get that. If you hate trans and you rage comment on trans posts the algorithm will get you more of that. So you start to think the world has now gotten more trans. Or more conservative or more whatever.
Never go full algorithm.
Algorithms aren't impartial as many news organizations reported with respect to boosting and suppressing specific types of content.
Well yeah. I am not saying otherwise.
The algorithm also takes in all the user’s data to determine what to show. If it was simple, everyone would do it. Plus there are millions of parameters for advertising and influence.
