Overall, the additions add great value to the article - good job y'all.

I may have missed it, but in the third-party section, it might be helpful to have more specific information on the platforms used by Jorgensen.

It also may be helpful to include some research on how social media platforms may be contributing to radicalization (especially far-right radicalitzation) as well as how social media platforms offer refuge for some radical groups such as the Oath Keepers or the other groups that attempted insurrection on January 6th. There's also instances of online gaming platforms like Roblox being used to radicalize people--this may be straying away from the 2020 election, but I'm not aware of the full scholarship.

It appears as though many of the references used--while all credible sources--are mostly mainstream media producers. It could be helpful for building a better foundation and for filling in extra information to use journal articles. Again, this isn't necessary but it could make your article even more robust.

In the section where it says "Most notably, a situation where union leaders in Nevada found issue with Bernie's Medicare policies, prompting The Bernie Bros to leak the women's phone numbers, home addresses and personal information online," you could change it to "Most notably, union leaders in Nevada found issue with Bernie's Medicare policies, which prompted The Bernie Bros to leak the union leaders' phone numbers, home addresses and personal information online, also known as doxxing." (This makes more sense to me grammatically, but this is also a stylistic choice).

'''thank you for you input! definitely will put more info on the third party section with Jorgensen'''

youre right about the mainstream media producers being our main sources, i will look more into academic journals.
