    “You’re not alone” is among the most important dynamics in human societies—also why social media is consequential in some ways mass media wasn’t.https://twitter.com/pereztruglia/status/929405503297413121 …

    Each sexual harassment accusation gives courage to other victims to come forward. 2002 was a tipping point for the Catholic-clergy sexual abuse scandals. 2017 could reach a tipping point too. pic.twitter.com/8MjQgKdpVq

        I really like this idea & recently spotted something analogous in a study on conspiracy belief. Have you written about this mechanism in an article?

        Filters are less strict now. Then it all had to go through so many filters, editors, staff, etc.

        Yes! (Also why it lends itself to tribalism, and why tribalism in turn weakens critical thought. If someone we trust validates our beliefs, then we must be right. It's doubly validating if our beliefs differ from the majority "other" to begin with.)
