Louder Than The Truth: Real Viral Posts, False Claims, and the Social Media System That Fuels Them (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798289810359)

Louder Than the Truth breaks down real social media posts that shaped online conversations, not just with false claims, but with the kind of cruelty and confidence that social media tends to reward. Some posts were factually wrong. Others were just mean. All of them reveal something deeper about how and why we share.

Each chapter examines a real post, shows what went wrong, and explains how it spread, whether through misinformation, misplaced confidence, or a system built to reward outrage. From twisted history and bad science to personal attacks and viral slurs, this is a look inside the content that defines the modern internet.

These aren't isolated mistakes. They're part of a bigger problem: a system that rewards confidence over accuracy, outrage over honesty, and engagement over truth.

This isn't just a book about misinformation. It's a book about what happens when going viral matters more than being right, or being decent.
