[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77120176, member: 123415"] We all knew about it, but a lot didn't know the extent. Certain things going "viral", (that 20 years ago, would've been swept under the rug, or knowledge of it would've remain contained locally) have helped shine a light on certain issues, or at least made enough people aware of it that it gets more attention. It's easy for politicians and media outlets to blow something off if only 100 people in southwest PA know about it...when 10 million people coast-to-coast know about it, it forces their hand a bit and they have to address it. Now, the other edge of that sword, is that in our justice system (which obliges a fair and impartial trial), it's become increasingly difficult to provide that if everyone and their mother has seen the video of something happening 50 times (with biased commentary) In that regard, social media can be both the sunlight that's the metaphorical "disinfectant", and it can be the poison in the well.
