Facebook amplifying hate but not how you think

[Undertoad]

Always trying to see the bigger picture;

A friend of mine recently shared a video of a 12-year-old being terrifyingly racist. They did it to enjoy sharing their feeling of horror at the kid in the video.

but i noticed that it had 23000 views ~ and it wasn't the original video, it was a copy of the original, from an anti-hate organization

i wonder whether this type of sharing, sharing of hate in order to condemn it, is inadvertently spreading hate

or at least amping up the volume

23000 views of agreement, but in one sense it should not have been shared with anyone. it didn't deserve it and in olden days it would be shared with maybe 6 people
