Macron stated that social media undermines democracy:

Negative emotions play the biggest role on social media. In any case, they spread much faster than positive ones, and positive emotions spread faster than rational reasoning. As a result, the entire system works primarily in favor of those who are best at influencing people through negative emotions.

We could talk about this at length. But social media are, in a sense, machines that divide democratic societies. Because in reality, what will be most successful—and what we’ll be exposed to for hours every day—is content that divides us. In other words, it’s the complete opposite of a university, which provides us with a shared body of knowledge and, thanks to that, allows us to communicate, engage in dialogue, and perhaps even express disagreement while maintaining respect for one another.
