Isolation of knowledge on social media

We are experiencing a dangerous trend in the digital world: a lot of valuable information is only accessible to members of certain groups or platforms. This is a problematic development.

Most people now use Facebook, Instagram or TikTok to share all sorts of things. This is practical at first glance, but it has disadvantages. These platforms want you to earn more money with their advertising revenue. That's why they rely on closed groups and filter bubbles. As a result, it is no longer as easy to exchange ideas and share knowledge. A lot of good information, advice and tips therefore only end up with a few users. This is bad because knowledge does not develop in this way.
