Jan. 6 was an example of networked incitement − a media and disinformation expert explains the danger of political violence orchestrated over social media

Retrieved on: 
Friday, January 5, 2024

What set Jan. 6 apart was the president of the United States using his cellphone to direct an attack on the Capitol, and those who stormed the Capitol being wired and ready for insurrection.

Key Points: 
  • What set Jan. 6 apart was the president of the United States using his cellphone to direct an attack on the Capitol, and those who stormed the Capitol being wired and ready for insurrection.
  • My co-authors and I, a media and disinformation scholar, call this networked incitement: influential figures inciting large-scale political violence via social media.
  • Networked incitement involves insurgents communicating across multiple platforms to command and coordinate mobilized social movements in the moment of action.
  • The reason there was not more bloodshed on Jan. 6 emerged through investigation into the Oath Keepers, a vigilante organization composed mostly of former military and police.

Social media as command and control

  • What happened in D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, does not easily fit into typical social movement frameworks for describing mobilization.
  • Even with the availability of social media, networked social movements still need mainstream media coverage to legitimize their cause.
  • As in prior social movements, the networking capacity of social media proved to be an important conduit to bring strangers together for the occasion.
  • The call to action for Jan. 6 came from the president himself in a series of social media posts enticing supporters to come to D.C. for a “wild” time.
  • Tweets like these from a prominent figure became social media’s equivalent of shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Mobilizing for violence

  • The purpose of these documents was to explain the rationales and mental states of the accused, while also offering a defense or explanation for their actions.
  • We analyzed the documents, looking at the multiple motivations for the insurrectionist mobilization.
  • In sum, we concluded that disinformation mobilizes and incites political violence under specific conditions, such as a popular public figure calling for help.
  • Oath Keeper Meggs’ tweet illustrates that even before Jan. 6, militia groups were looking for signs from Trump about how to proceed.
  • An investigation by NPR also illustrated how Trump’s messages emboldened participants and ignited the events of that day.

A dark future

  • The use of social media for networked incitement foreshadows a dark future for democracies.
  • Clear regulations preventing the malicious weaponization of social media by politicians who use disinformation to incite violence is one way to keep that future at bay.
