A tiny fringe of people with extreme views tend to dominate social media.

Tune out those voices or you will be badly misled about what people actually believe

small number of extreme users constantly post fringe opinions which creates the illusion that these views are far more widely held than they really are–which we call the “funhouse mirror” version of reality.
