What is it called when the internet makes something small and minor seem bigger and worser than it actually is?
-
For example there is one guy in a country who is being a dick or a single small business in some country that's being a dick
But the internet catches wind of it and it ends up gaining traction online and ends up going from something small and minor to something huge online and actually seeming worser and bigger than it is and potentially makes the country where it happened appear like that when it isn't true.
I'm looking for a word or words to describe this.
