One problem I have with it is that topics can trend and spread so quickly that they get in front of facts and it can easily become a vehicle for misinformation and witch hunts. I think I’ve decided I’d rather get information a little later from fact checking sources than consume and potentially contribute to spreading false information. It just seems like it’s the perfect vehicle for toxic behavior even if it has legitimate benefits when used correctly.

Well said. People have had their lives ruined because the internet got ahead of the facts in a story.
