> For example, in Poland, "one party’s social media management team estimates that they have shifted the proportion of their posts from 50/50 positive/negative to 80% negative and 20% positive, explicitly as a function of the change to the algorithm… Many parties, including those that have shifted strongly to the negative, worry about the long-term effects on democracy."

Not only democracy but, eventually, world peace. There are an increasing number of countries turning toward authoritarianism and the effects here could not only polarize political discourse, but also international relations.
