Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. Internet is not inclusive enough. 2. Internet can adversely affect the quality of politics in a country. Which of the assumptions given above is/are valid?

The passage focuses on the promotion of inflammatory content on social media to maximize engagement, which can adversely affect political discourse and the quality of politics. So assumption 2 is valid. Assumption 1 about inclusivity of the internet is not addressed in the passage—the passage does not discuss whether the internet excludes any group. Hence only assumption 2 is valid.
