you don't need to decode a message to decide it's a mass repost.

See https://faq.whatsapp.com/1053543185312573 for example.

Social media 'amplifies' trends, or even "makes" trend.

"The algorithm" is optimized for 'engagement'. The questions are a) can you detect via metadata something is happening and 'cool down' the amplification b) can you de-amplify anger? c) what is the responsibility of "the algorithm" makers ?
