Bristande kontroll av källor bakom påståenden i debatten

This concerns source evaluation. The diagram concerns who dares to participate, not how claims are checked.

Ökad spridning av avsiktligt vilseledande information i debatten

This describes disinformation. The diagram shows a loss of participants and perspectives, not the spread of false claims.

Ökad uppdelning mellan grupper med motsatta politiska åsikter

This describes polarisation. The chain shown concerns people ceasing to participate, not views becoming more opposed.
