Authoritarianism thrives in divided societies.

Make your algorithms downplay controversial stuff (which is often controversial because it uses dishonest language tailored to sow discord and minimize common ground interpretations).

Make your algorithms promote level headed, honest, non-tribal language and verifiable truths so that areas of global consensus are elevated.

Democracy will work again and we can get rid of the despots.
