The splintering of social media - divide and rule?

They say that social media needs to be ‘regulated’ (censored) because it is divisive, but...

‘Regulating’ social media platforms will just lead to the splintering of them as people seek other, smaller platforms on which to express their views instead. Thus meaning an even greater tendency to get stuck in echo chambers, and more divisiveness, not less.

‪Whilst we’re all on the same platform, we’ve the potential to debate, unite, and threaten the system. It’s this that is the real threat.‬

Divide and rule.
