One trend I noticed during yesterday's frenzy was folks turning to Twitter for intel and reporting on rumours from comments there.
We all know that Twitter is flooded with bots and bad actors, but the urge to chase down any whisper--there, on Facebook, on Telegram, on Reddit--is strong in the heat of the moment.
There *are* useful accounts, but remember to verify comment rumours before reposting. It's psychologically easy to adopt new facts, and much harder to retract them.
@MLClark priming, and primacy versus recency.
