Social media is clearly a culprit.

People say things on social media they wouldn't say directly to your face. It's normal to be shy in front of real people and shyness is a social feature not a bug. Even those who don't shy away from taboo topics, are more likely to be convincing in real life than with text.

Less shyness = more differences of opinion expressed

More convincing = less division
