Social Media in Zimbabwe now Polarised and Toxic

Social media now very polarised and toxic as in recent years, social media has become an increasingly important part of our lives.

It has become a platform for people to share their thoughts and opinions, but it has also become a place where bias is rampant. Social media has become a breeding ground for prejudice and discrimination, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to escape its effects.

Social media platforms are often used to spread misinformation and false information. This can lead to people making decisions based on false information, which can lead to more prejudice and discrimination. In addition, social media can be used to target certain groups of people, such as minorities or people of a certain religion or political affiliation. This can lead to people feeling targeted and discriminated against.

Finally, social media can be used to spread hate speech and incite violence. This can lead to people feeling unsafe and can lead to people feeling like they can’t express their opinions without fear of retribution. This can lead to people feeling like they can’t be their true selves on social media, which can lead to further prejudice and discrimination.

Overall, social media has become a breeding ground for prejudice and discrimination. It is important to be aware of the biases that exist on social media and to be aware of the potential dangers of spreading false information. It is also important to be aware of the potential for hate speech and violence and to be aware of the potential for people to feel targeted and discriminated against.

By being aware of these issues, we can work to create a more equitable and inclusive social media landscape.
