Bobby Shirbon left his 18th birthday party at a bingo hall in Hartlepool to join the mob.

He was sentenced to 20 months in prison for his part in the racist rioting.

Shirbon was distracted from his birthday celebration by alerts on his social media.

But embedded in that would have been the contextless catalyst of the spreading violence.

Research suggests that this neglects a critical component the way in which that disinformation is routinely attached to the most graphic video content.

The audience most susceptible to this content is not teenagers and young adults but middle-class, middle-aged viewers.

The deliberate narrowness of political context is critical, says Shakuntala Banaji .
