| The unexpected promotion of certain ideas on social media, supposedly a function of user's |
"Strange virality" (like its converse, shadow banning) is a propaganda method used on social media by those who control it to promote certain ideas.
Official narrative
Certain ideas are "strangely viral" when they spread very widely, as a function of social media user's behaviour.
Concerns
The controllers of social media use the concept to promote certain ideas, while retaining plausible deniability for doing so.
