The world can change both toward better and toward worst. The countries go from peaceful to war obsessed, from autocracy to genocide and from peaceful democratic to pogroms. Women or minorities can gain rights and loose rights.

The algorithmic propagation of toxicity is changing it towards worst. And internet is actively used to incite some of the things I listed above. And major companies actively facilitated those changes towards the worst. And by actively I mean "we now know they were actively helping the bad stuff to happen".
