There is evidence that by design, these networks serve up and reward strife.

I don't think they should be shut down. However, I do think that selling user data and tracking users across sites should be banned. These are models where we pay through engagement. This is a public health issue. These platforms are being employed for mass deception and division. I believe that the best way to fix this is to remove the economic incentive to host and promote these types of behaviors.
