My argument is that social media influence was easy in the Johnny Depp trial because nobody really gives a shit about the Johnny Depp trial. You pull that shit with Kyle Rittenhaus and the Twitter Army is gonna leap out of the woodwork.

I think we're witnessing a mild effect in an inconsequential forum.

Again, some transparency would be nice.

I have a web crawler that, with some effort/time (which I don't really have), I could point at Twitter and ping topics or accounts of interest, the trending shit, whatever, and I could probably glean quite a bit, but it'd be nothing compared to what Twitter-internal analytics would reveal.
