The article “How Social Media Platforms Can Reduce Polarization” takes a different perspective on how we can solve our political polarization issue within the United States. It goes into why polarization is happening in the first place and different ways that we can combat it. It talks about how we are less polarized than we think but social media amplifies and makes it worse. The article then dives into different ways that we can combat this such as platforms fostering more “positive interparty contact.” We can collaborate with researchers, design better user interfaces, and correct misconceptions are all ways the article says that we can combat political polarization within the United States. They made an interesting point of the EU Digital Servies Act which basically makes platforms accept responsibility for the content on their platform. How it impacts society, etc.
