AP US Government
Unit 4 – American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
Topic 4.5
What could potentially happen if social media platforms stopped allowing content that influences individuals’ political views?
Public opinion would remain the same as people don't change their views based on social media.
The gap between different political ideologies will completely vanish.
This might reduce echo chambers and polarization but also limit access to diverse viewpoints and discussions around important societal matters such as politics.
Political polarization would rise, as traditional news outlets often have a clear political alignment.
