The signal

Who someone follows is public. What it means is not.

The content someone sees every day shapes their sense of what is normal, desirable, and expected. Most of this happens quietly — through the accounts they follow, the posts that appear in their feed, and the communities they are exposed to.

21%

of U.S. adults regularly get their news from influencers on social media — 38% among those under 30. Who you follow is who informs you. (Pew Research Center, surveyed August 2025)

66%

of UK adults ran into potentially harmful content online — misinformation, scams, hateful content and unwanted follow requests led the list. (Ofcom, Online Nation 2025)

30%

of adults who reported losing money to a scam said it started on social media — $2.1 billion in reported losses in 2025, about eight times the 2020 figure. (U.S. Federal Trade Commission, 2026)
