I agree with Morgane. I would just add that there's also a momentum built up with...when one person starts something, it helps other people feel entitled to also contribute to the conversation in a negative way and add things on, so misinformation gets even worse. As you said, the speed is just incredible. Also, it stays there. If you have a flyer, you crumple up the flyer and throw it away, but when it's online it's frozen there.
