People who would have come across a disreputable and extreme idea before only if they searched it out, and found it in a dank corner of the internet (or in a seedy small-press publication pre-internet) are now having the same sort of material shoved in their face by highly-branded social media companies.That is directly at odds with "do no harm". It's impossible to have a "do no harm" approach and rely on "increasing engagement", particularly with an ad-supported model.</blockquote>
