I heavily disagree with this data interpretation. There certainly was an internet with much more prevalent death threats and it did not affect the real world at all. On the contrary, putting people uttering them on a terror list makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy. A common mistake that is often repeated with similar problems.
That is why even an accusations can have a negative effect. Compare that to accusations of racism and sexism for example.
- awb 5y agoThere are a few steps between an accusation and an action, namely the agency of the person being accused. I certainly haven’t become every word I’ve been accused of. I agree there is certainly harm in false accusations though. I just don’t think it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
