Part 4/10:
The modern media landscape adds gas to the fire, with news outlets and social media platforms progressively tightening rules around speech. The speaker describes how some news channels have stopped allowing comments altogether, citing concerns over free speech, while others restrict or box in expression to moderate the toxicity. Interestingly, platforms like YouTube are purportedly allowing more explicit language, seemingly exacerbating the cycle of anger. This trend, the speaker suggests, might be intentionally or unintentionally fueling misunderstandings or heightened emotional responses.
