Write a function that finds the union of multiple sets. Your function should take a list of sets as input and return a new set containing all unique elements from all input sets. For example, given the following sets: set1 = {1, 2, 3} set2 = {3, 4, 5} set3 = {5, 6, 7} Your function should return a set containing {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. Here's another example: set1 = {10, 20} set2 = {20, 30, 40} set3 = { } Your function should return a set containing {10, 20, 30, 40}. Consider edge cases such as empty sets, sets with duplicate elements, and a large number of input sets. Ensure your solution is efficient, particularly when dealing with a substantial number of elements across the input sets. How would you optimize for space complexity if memory is constrained? Discuss the time and space complexity of your solution.

Let's design the LinkedIn feed. Consider the user experience, key features, scalability, and personalization aspects. For instance, how would you prioritize content from connections versus suggested content? How would you handle different content types like text, images, videos, and articles? How do you design a system to ensure that the feed remains responsive even with millions of active users? How would you personalize the feed to show users content they are most likely interested in, and what data would you use to achieve this personalization? Finally, how would you prevent the spread of misinformation or harmful content within the feed?
