You might however get different perspectives from those that lawmakers or other powerful people want people to mostly see. (True on TikTok and all other social media. I consider it one of the greatest achievements of the Internet that it makes it a lot harder for the powerful to maintain an "overton window" and I consider it one of the most important societal causes to make sure they can't undo that achievement.)
