The Short Lifecycle of Twitter Outrage
Or "X" (or equivalents):
The social control media mob does not understand karma. It appears to genuinely believe that taking people's words out of context or attacking people for merely having a political opinion is "cool". That's why I 'quit' Twitter 5 years ago and Pieter Hintjens was right when he wrote about this phenomenon nearly a decade ago.
Participation in social control media is generally a liability, not an opportunity. As Pocock put it earlier today: "It is also interesting to see how social media, which was a very recent phenomena in 2011, was interacting with his propensity to behave out of character. This is a growing risk for every company today. Social media is a social engineering attack on society at large."
The upside is that the "tempo" of social control media is so fast (to cause addiction or "engagement" as the pushers put it) that the persistence of lies in social control media is rather poor. People quickly move on to the next "rage cycle". █
