Changes:
Social Media: Facebook: End of paragraph 4: We have seen the presense of misinformation within facebook become a hot topic with the spread of Covid-19, as some reports have indicated Facebook recomending pages containing health misinformation [reference]

Social Media: Distrust (new topic head): Misinformation was a major talking point during the 2016 American Presidential Election in terms of if different social media cites were allowing "fake news" to be spread throughout their platform. Social media became polarized and political, with some arguing that misinformation about Covid-19 has been circulating, creating skepticizm of things such as vaccines and Dr. Fauci. Others argued that platforms such as facebook had been unconstitutionally censoring conservative voices, spreading misinformation to pursuade voters.

All of this polarization on social media platforms has caused people to question where they get their information from.
