Summary:Recent developments in social media uses and its availability on ubiquitous devices makes it a perfect platform to express our views. However, many groups, organizations and people try to influence the users by posting biased contents. Some of them try to polarize the opinion of users. Many of them use toxic language to target some users. The activities such as biasing, polarization and use of toxic language make the users feel uncomfortable in using social media. Our research paper highlights key characteristics, uncovers patterns, and offers solutions to lessen the detrimental impacts of polarization, bias, and toxicity.
