This is not an appropriate article or discussion for HN. There's lots of other places to "be political". Not so many to "be technical"... It would be a great disappointment to see HN turn into, say, Slashdot.
It's a great article for HN. All the folks here working on ad-tech to polarize the good people of this country so they can squeeze another penny out of them. Then they have the gals to complain about people becoming radicalized. "Oh gee how did that happennnn"
They got polarized on Facebook. Because you wanted them to. Because it keeps them coming back and your stock goes up.
If you're a Facebook employee - congrats! This is what you've created. A radicalized cesspool of idiots to increase your bottom line.
Google isn't helping anymore than Facebook. Apple is dipping their toes into privacy focused features that hurt Facebook and Amazon but I suspect they're making a long adtech play.
