Should entertainment platforms add stronger friction before users share outrage-driven content?
“Outrage-driven” is a subjective label, and platforms will apply it unevenly. Whistleblowing, breaking news, and firsthand video often arrive emotionally charged. The [MIT findings](https://www.newscientist.com/article/2163226-fake-news-travels-six-times-faster-than-the-truth-on-twitter/?utm_source=rakuten&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=2116208:Skimlinks.com&utm_content=10&ranMID=47192&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw-mRPuQpVDeS58Qps3fXTikQ) show a real speed problem, but the safer fix is to limit algorithmic amplification until claims are corroborated, rather than inserting a judgmental gate before ordinary sharing.
