“…since the absence of social cues leads people to feel more distant and anonymous from others and to be perceived in a deindividuated manner, it is likely that social and normative influences may be undermined, causing behavior to become deregulated and anti-social (Postmes & Spears, 1998).”

“Janssen and Kies (2005) found that online spaces enabled decentralized communication of many-to-many since each participant is normally equally entitled to comment or raise a new question, and participants are free to express their opinions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
