When social media meets advocacy

OpinionBY GERRY NICHOLLS

These online media/advocacy influencers aren’t really like the media because they don’t provide balanced information, nor are they really like advocacy groups because they don’t seek to persuade the public. The upshot of all this is that political polarization increases, as everybody starts to see the other side as the enemy. This is not good for democracy.
