WaPo: ‘Angry and personal’: Social media is fueling attacks on celebrities, new study finds

WaPo: ‘Angry and personal’: Social media is fueling attacks on celebrities, new study finds. “Social media has altered the motives and targets of those who set out to kill public figures, spreading the threat beyond politicians to music stars, athletes and other pop-culture icons, according to a new study by a senior FBI official and a prominent forensic psychologist. The study, which was published online Wednesday in the journal Behavioral Sciences and the Law, aims to update a landmark Secret Service report that examined attacks on public figures between 1949 and 1995, ending with ‘Unabomber’ Ted Kaczysnki.”
