Of all the forms of propaganda going around on Internet Platforms (disinformation, fake news, hate speech, manipulation), recent examples are cases of incitement:
- Twitter: The Capitol Hill attack by Trump supporters
- Telegram: looting in the Netherlands, under the pretence of dissatifaction with a pandemic induced curfew
- TikTok: a deadly challenge, fatal for a 10 year old kid in Italy
- Reddit: massive attack on short sellers of GameStop stock and more
- WallStreetBets
- Reddit's approach
- Beating short-sellers
- Robinhood's restrictions
- And why
- More restrictions and more
- Facebook taking action
The Five Ps, a taxonomy of the Problems with Internet Platforms. One originates at the users of the Platforms (their Players), four are tied to the Platforms themselves
- Players

- Power abuse (mostly in the wholesale markets), antitrust, monopolies (duopolies, oligopolies), collusion, vertical and horizontal integration/consolidation, service bundling, the double hat problem of vertically integrated platforms
- Payment evasion of taxes and copyright dues
