This is just a sad showing of fear-mongering mob mentality. Sadly, I expected more from these communities.

- just2n 14y agoThat's absolutely not what happened in that subreddit. The people who took the discussions out of context and tried to make things go viral outside of that reddit were the problem makers. I watched pretty much everything that went on there, and everything these stories about "internet sleuthing gets it wrong" say is wrong. They're just sensationalist headlines. Journalists these days don't really care to get it right (you should note that many news outlets published factually incorrect data regarding the bombing claiming it was from a reliable source), they just want eyeballs.
