Study finds there are nasty people on social media

[Blaine91555]

Social media offers an avenue for like-minded individuals to interact in ways that were previously not possible. Yet, it can also be a breeding ground for hate and extremism to spread.

I think anything beyond what I underlined is a case of a group of like-minded researchers attempting to mold their findings to their own preconceived notions and biases.

Most of its conclusions should be tossed aside due to the fact that the subreddits attract like-minded people in the first place. Makes me wonder why they bothered, unless the intent was to confirm that like-minded people associate with one another.
