How social media algorithms change our behaviour and amplify negative human traits to capture our attention
Toxic comments, cancel culture, and how they affect our mental health
Why we’re comfortable behaving more abusively online than we ever would in person
Losing our capacity for empathy and compassion because of online interactions and echo chambers that reinforce our existing views
