The downvotes to your comment illustrate how deep the rot perpetuated by XCCP, IRGC, FSB, Qataris, etc has gone.

Not to say concern about domestically originating extremism isn’t warranted, but, if you’re downvoting a comment on “I’m most concerned about sources of social influence from the most regressive governments on earth”, you’ve got some serious bias

I would say the downvotes come because 1) they are changing the subject 2) student protesters are far less dangerous than far right militias and 3) it’s a lot easier to relate to anti-Palestinean genocide protestors than to people who claim there is a white genocide and 4) if a divided populace implies intent on the part of the app developers, Facebook is at least as culpable. TikTok didn’t invent filter bubbles.
