How is it that someone can be perfectly affable and charming in person, and an absolute nightmare of a human on social media? Why does it feel like we’re all walking around in a cloud of paranoia all the time? Why is it increasingly difficult to discern which information is true and which is fake?

We’re sharing the thread here for our fellow internet-poisoned friends who are seeking some semblance of sanity, but be sure to follow @g_s_bhogal on Twitter for more insights.
