Numerous trends, including a cycle of neglect and panic, emerged on the Internet in the 2000s, and have become exacerbated over time. Other, more positive trends, such as more interactive and helpfully mediated/curated access to health experts, have also emerged. This study provides important context for our current moment.</p>}, number={11}, journal={First Monday}, author={Mari, Will}, year={2020}, month={Oct.} }
