Triggered muh triggers

tbh people predisposed with psychosis can have it 'triggered' by a metric shit ton of different things. I'm not surprised that twitter can be one.

Just like epilepsy I suppose. Hell, if I twiddle the thumbsticks on my controller too fast one of my old cats breaks down into an epileptic fit.

On a related note, twitter is kind of behind a lot of trouble for people. I've seen fights over twitter. Remember that girl who had that Rihanna dress and had thousands of people attack her because she was trending? Man, I bet that sucks. Seems to happen often.

So, contrary to the headlines telling you that Twitter will induce psychosis, this is clearly a rare case and only relevant for the most vulnerable individuals who might find such secret messages in their ordinary lives, in other offline ways.

Did you even read the article that you linked?

Yes, and so what I said is true, in cases Twitter would be a viable reason, as proved by the example and the excerpt you used

Someone starts showing signs of Psychosis or Schizophrenia and one of the things that factored into that was spambots on twitter. It's not 'omg twittur causes suicides' and 'guiz i went crazy cuz of muh playstashun' and it's not a cause for sarcasm or facetiousness.
