Facebook divide
The term "digital divide" often refers to the material separation between those who have access to technology and those who do not. Yet, Facebook and other social media juggernauts are fostering a second digital gap between privileged anglophones and non-English speaking users. On a worldwide scale, Facebook's relative disregard of non-English users has allowed for the propagation of violent discourse on its site. Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged that false news reports spread by state-sponsored accounts played a significant part in the horrific deaths and expulsion of the Rohingya people in Myanmar. Much of the world's population is at a disadvantage since Facebook's algorithms are considerably weaker at identifying undesirable content posted in other languages. Although though North American users make up just 10% of the social network's daily active users, the New York Times reports that "87% of the company's worldwide budget for time spent on identifying disinformation is designated for the United States, while only 13% is put aside for the rest of the world." Facebook is the most widely used social network online. Facebook reported 1.47 billion daily active users (DAUs) and 2.23 billion monthly active users (MAUs) in June 2018, an increase of 11% compared to the same month the previous year. In 2018, three out of ten individuals on average utilized Facebook, and this number is only going to rise given the present trajectory. Facebook Advertising statistics were just recently taken into consideration to investigate social inequality, namely gender disparities in Internet access at both the national and sub-national levels. In similar vein, a research by Gil-Clavel and Zagheni included the age factor to their examination of the gender disparity in Facebook adoption. It's difficult to place the responsibility on Facebook, but when you look at the congressional investigations into Facebook and its acquisitions, it becomes quite obvious when you read the paperwork that there are many issues that Facebook could be sued over.

Knowledge divide
According to Burmeister and Dabic (Burmeister et al., 2015; Dabic et al., 2014), the effective development, diffusion, and use of information inside an organization is critical to strengthening that organization's competitive power in a global business environment and to compete effectively in globalized marketplaces in the 21st-century digita l knowledge economy. A knowledge-led economy and knowledge-based communities are essential for human progress and survival in the rising knowledge world, according to higher education department authorities. By bridging the digital divide, the goal is to create learning, governance, and empowerment systems that are of the highest quality, value-based, and responsive to the demands of the people's personal and social growth. Studies on ICT innovation in developing nations should also examine gender-based digital divides because they have a negative impact on women's involvement in the ICT-driven economic growth of today. People with a high degree of education use more information on a daily basis from the perspective of today's networked society and information economy. In today's ICT-enabled information economy, sustainable innovations not only play a significant role, but knowledge management is also linked to innovation. Public Knowledge applauds the bipartisan group and the Biden administration for taking this significant step to reduce the digital divide by supporting increased broadband deployment and working to lower the cost of internet for all users, but especially for low-income consumers. There is a significant disparity in ICT access between nations, and access within a nation is concerning as well, particularly in poorer nations. Due to the fact that not everyone is adept at using the Internet to get information and other online services, having access to the Internet may not guarantee that everyone will have the same opportunity to use it and become informed users. In addition, the introduction of touch screens in laptops, tablets, and smartphones made these gadgets even more user-friendly. Despite this, many groups in the community still view these computing devices as difficult and labor-intensive to operate.
